Very nice.

This type of jamming is very common, and sometimes very hard to resolve. I assume
it will work fine, if balls come in one-at-a-time. So, if it is placed after a
module like this one, that doesn't dump out batches, it should be fine, right?
How does it do when there are no balls in the input bin? And, how fast does it run?
(balls per second?)

This is one of the really cool things. It CAN conform to the standard, or it can be
configured to do other stuff... (turn, play with itself...)
nice job...
