I have to say, I am a sophomore (and a noob) of 1089 and I honestly did not expect other teams AT ALL to think of the SAME concepts as an idea.
Some of our very own members had thought this out while designing.
Your video really looks like you guys will win. Looks like the competition is going to be tough :)
REALLY outstanding proto
GOOD LUCK!

That is impressive.

Heh, we figured enough other teams had the same idea that it didn't matter : P it's such a good idea that we couldn't possibly be the only team!

impressive, great prototype, looks like you guys could make it taller to fit in more balls since we have a good sixty inches.

Do you have specs on the tubing?, were looking at a similar idea.

The helix is made out of some 1/2" ID plastic tubing we found in the sprinkler department of the hardware store.

im curious to know what the size of the spining cylnder is, we used a 9" one in our prototype. That looks to be about 5 inches. Am i right?

Yeah, the tube is 4" ABS sewer pipe, which has an outside diameter of 4.5 inches

What is the material surfacing your rotating shaft? Looks like carpeting.

It's a messy assortment of non-slip shelving liner and teal duct tape. :D
