might be a bit behind the times but just seen the strike loader....thinking of making one. would a battery operated hopper cannibalised for the motor have enough force to push the balls through a 1-1.5m flexy tube? if so which one would you recommend? was thinking of having one at the top of the pipe coming out of the back pack and a receiving one at the marker. what are ya thoughts and isda cheers

No, a normal hopper won't be able to push the balls upwards against gravity. They are designed to basically assist gravity in providing pressure on a vertical/horizontal ball stack.
The only feeder capable of this properly is the Warp Feed, but they are like Rocking Horse Poo to obtain. I've been looking for one (or more) for a while, as they would be ideal for our automated sentry gun project, and allow me to have the ammo tray at a lower level than the marker tilt/pan assembly.
