How about a backpack mounted hopper? with a long flexible hose (like the warp but longer) drop the marker to fill the stack, then let rip?

Never take off, but then again, at least you'd be free from getting sued by SP.

out of the ordinary...

Hey, while we're on the wild and wacky side, why not make a backpack-hopper-filler?

As above, but rather than feeding the marker directly, have it fill a pre-existing hopper. There might be a market among back players...

...By filling the hopper rather than the marker, you'd cut down on the problems caused by intermittent feeds over a relatively long distance.

smooth and sexy. stick to the shape of the revo's and the halos. changing the height/profile is a cracking idea! whatever you do make sure you put a v v v strong feedneck on or make one that is replaceable if it is cracked. keep the fill neck at a similar angle to the halos and revos and allow the lid to open the same way too. oh and don't get sued by sp for patent breaking!:D

I like quackingplums idea, instead of fitting the hopper into a high/low rise, just thread the hopper to fit into the marker itself, or perhaps latch it on or find some other way to secure it. Also, make the thing long, like really long, keep the same or smaller head on visual profile, but extend to hopper back and foreward more to increase capacity, maybe drop a support to the back of the marker to balance it and add a second motor to aid the balls in moving toward the neck. really anything to reduce head on profile and increase capacity would be nice.
