The effect the AVR drone prop wash has on the balls in the reservoir is fairly significant. To help visualize this and aid your capture mechanism design, the video below shows a few different flight scenarios and how the drone prop wash effects the reservoir balls in each case.

Is this how full the reservoir will be at the beginning of the match? ---

This was our question as well. Are the initial 1500 water droplets split between both reservoirs or is it 1500 per side? ---

The reservoir in the video contains 1500 balls (water droplets). So, the video is representative of what you will see in each reservoir at the beginning of the match. ---
