Intake.java BallManager.java

Before brainstorming and designing possible intakes, a few goals were established:

1. Consistency: all balls ingressed (regardless of ball position, wear, or inflation) should take a similar path and end up in the same place.
2. Vector balls towards the center of the robot for easy indexing (if possible without sacrificing item 1 or item 6)
3. Simplicity and easy in-house machinability
4. Packages well with existing mechanisms, particularly the tower
5. Either be floppy or rigid enough to handle strong impacts and retain function
6. Intake balls at a rapid drivebase speed
