I wonder whether some cause of instability for seemingly well tested modules when they are put into a real GBC is that the specification doesn't specify the speed, or the angle of entry of balls into your input hopper. If your upstream 'test' module (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)
