    Default Rockston Gravity Feeder

    Thought some of you might be interested in this concept:
    I have been working diligently for the last week or so and am now testing the feeder for what will be a complete ball management system all done through pex tubing. Waste balls are going to be collected through pex and returned to a master tank through a single lifter. Here is a little preview of the output from the feeder. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FI3lH6TMpuU

    This gravity feeder reliably organizes balls for distribution through tubes.

    Blue Angel in Action:
    I changed over to some milky clear tubing. Here I am holding down
    the ball buying button 20 balls at a crack to simulate a fever on
    my end machine. Keeps up well and then when the prize hopper is full
    again it automatically stops.
