YouTube - Home made paintball hopper.

Made of a VL-200 gravity hopper, a bunch of wires, a on/off switch from a R/c car, a servo, and a propellerfrom a old toy C-130.

There is a button on most cameras that looks like a little flower, and that's called Macro mode, and it lets you take close up pictures that dont get all blurry like that.

Actually I think it'd refer to somebody that does such 'ghetto' mods. As in, 'Yo, check out dis here spinny hopper I done made. I is a ghettoist'.

Anyone had any idea how to give it some sort of mechinism so it will stop if it has paint in the feedneck? I am looking at a mircoswitch, but its to heavy of a pull.

Does that make me a ghettoist? :P

You could try and get ahold of one of the switches used in Ricochet hoppers.

Oh, and yeah.

Yes.. You is a ghettoist.

Lessee... A really light microswitch might work. If you extend the lever to make it longer, it would require less power to press it down. The Fasta hoppers work similar to that.
