Timed it--about 70 balls a minute, which is close to the math above...
Also worked on the bin--doesn't get jammmed up nearly as frequently--works with
40-50 balls in the bin or 15 and under--sometimes, infrequently mind you, gets
jammed with numbers inbetween.
I'm looking at ways to improve it, but works mostly for now.
Beyond that, thinkingabout my next one--inspired by Steve this time...
We shall see what transpires...
