It would have been nice in their forum if someone could have suggested ways to achieve this.
Here's how it seems to work... the plunger of the solenoid above the ball exit keeps balls inside the bucket. When the solenoid is activated the plunger moves upwards letting a ball roll onto the ramp. The solenoid is timed to only let one ball onto the ramp at a time.
The components are just two battery packs, a relay module and an Arduino and perhaps some sort of sensor (optical? perhaps a microphone) on the lid. I think the sensor on the lid is just used to trigger the solenoid.
