How does it do when there are no balls in the input bin?  And, how fast does it
run?
(balls per second?)

I'm not good with math, but the motor has an 8 tooth, and that goes to a 40
tooth--the pump is connected to the 40 tooth, and the motor's on full.

So the motor RPM divided by 5 for balls / minute (if I figured it out correctly)

It's at least 1 a second.  I will time it when I get home tonite.

I think motors run around 360 rpm or 6 rps / 5 = 1.2 rps = 1.2 bps
