It probaly would but, if you had a full ball stack, then it would probaly just be like the belt drive, and slip over the gears until you actually started shooting.

I wonder what kind of batteries it is going to use. Are they going to stick with AA's or go to 9volts?

the advantage is that you now could use black shelled paint.

hi

that would be halarious

Team 1 - "Hey we got Halo SA's, hahah you only got VL we are gonna own you!"
Team 2 - "We will see"

During game ------

Team 1 - "Hahahha we arent even gonna have a feeding problem lets get em guys"
Team 2 - "HALO OFF!!"
Team 1 - "damn they keep turning our halos off those cheaters!"

Another more important is that BE can't sue them for this design, in stark contrast to their earlier models.

Odyssey's new agitating loader with sound activation

any one notice it says agitated, does this mean it is not a "halo" that will sort balls and push them in. but rather just a new loader to compete with revs

The advantage to sound activation is that it spins everytime the ball is fired, like intellifeed without wires. It works really well. Empire makes a kit for the revy called the Reload kit. I installled one at Shatnerball and ripped off long strings of paint and never outshot it. It's not so sensitive that everything sets it off but it still spins at every shot. No more eye and no more feed gaps.

I took it to mean that too. I suspect so...

Load, I am really glad you like the reload kit. I'm certainly very impressed by mine. It's the best agitiating system I have used and my batteries seem to last forever? (even when I forget to turn it off...)

I believe the new Halo SA will be this technology in it's own new shell. I can't wait to see one at the World Cup.

I love it Simon, thanks for pointing it out. Any word on the WAS Turborev experiments? I especially like it because it's been so reliable and much less finicky than my HALO B. I think a combination of the two would be amazing. Let us know what you find out at WC

hmmm... time for detective work...

halo TSA Sound Activated Agitating feed system...

aka low end halo that just agitates, but does it by sound activation...


see, this works out nice since BE's patent is on an agitating loader activated by an infrared eye, the way halo got out of the law suit with be was their loader was a sorting loader activated by an infrared eye, not an agitating loader.

i think halo had some hurt feelings and wanted to strike back.

personally i'm all for someone telling BE to "riss up a pope" (no insult to any faith intended here.)

I already made my warpfeed sound activated. I used the jumpers that you'd use for rigging an Inteli up to the warp(Atleast I think I did ), but plugged a phone handsfree kit into it. When I tapped on the mic for the handsfree the warp would spin. Same when I made any loud abbrupt noise...Simple

the unoffical official word from the boys at odyssey is that the new loader Halo TSA will be a competition for the revvy. I didn't get any real specifics, but it works similarly to the revvy(agitation not force feed like the halo) and has a sort of wireless intellifeed(through the sound activation). This is their way of going around the eye patents from BE, Odyssey's way is probably more effective. Also, Ed(might have been Eduardo, can't remember) at Odyssey said that the Halo TSA is in NO WAY going to be a competition for the HALO B when speaking of BPS. "The Halo B is and will still be the fastest loader on the market".

Hopefully that helps everyone out a little on what is going on with the new loader. I personally think they're just going right after BE instead of what BE wanted them to do (give up).
