Claim 1:
2. The sport carrying bag according to claim 1, wherein the disc of the ball sorting apparatus is configured with a plurality of circumferentially spaced ball-receiving regions including one through-hole region, the sport carrying bag further comprising:
a) a mounting plate located below the disc;
b) a chute downwardly extending to a loading section of the launching apparatus;
c) a fixed bi-directional ball feeding motor, for rotatably driving the disc; and
d) a controller in data communication with said ball feeding motor, wherein circuitry of said ball feeding motor is suitable to transmit acquired motor data to said controller,
wherein, upon rotation of the disc in a first rotational direction, a ball received in said through-hole region ceases to be contacted by said mounting plate at one angular position of said disc coinciding with said chute and gravitates through said chute to the loading section of the launching apparatus, wherein, in response to a detected jammed condition whereby additional balls are unable to be fed from the disc to the launching apparatus, said circuitry detects that said ball feeding motor is overloaded and said controller commands said ball feeding motor to reverse its operating direction such that said disc will rotate in a second rotational direction opposite to the first direction to cause one or more jammed balls to become dislodged.
