What in the love of god is this fascination with Steve's balls?! Other than the
obvious? They're hard to grab. Even Steve used these 4x4 blocks for his own 3T
game.
The suction cup looks finicky. It's one of those systems that is hard to
control from a software standpoint. It's a neat idea, but ultimately no one
will use this.
I'm with Derek and RobA. Load a magzine of shapes and drop them out.
