Reminds me of the magnets and cone from the v1 prophecy when I see the springs and smoke part on the bottom half. Maybe this will be the next big thing

What I am worried about is if basically everything is in that cone, then how hard is it going to be to clean and maintain it?

^umm...
Just take the cone out?

Cleaning the shell would be simple.
The cone, not so much but it shouldn't be too hard.

Also from the pictures on Virtue it seems to look like a NXE JRNY and a Halo combined.

I am very concerned about the use of rubber. I would think that it leads to much more jams than "hard" but flexible plastic due to the stickiness of the rubber. I mean, we all remember how Virtue's rubber Rotor arm was trash and it caused more jams than the stock one. I hope this isn't another NXE JRNY.

i think that may be the battery tray. if thats the case, then the spire system probably have the motor built inside it.

and i like how they have the spire system sitting at the end of the hopper. this would allow the ball to drop into the system while shooting the gun/hopper in an elevated angle.

I've used the prototype Spire at a tournament and it worked flawlessly. It was used on a DM10, Cocker, Excalibur and a Bob Long Victory. It was all covered in camo tape so no one would know I was using it, since it was still a secret at that time. I can't answer all the tech questions about it but I can say it was working better than all the Rotors around me. The Rotors were all jamming, not just a couple of them, but 95% of them (including mine). We think it was from the small bore paint. The Spire didn't jam once, it worked on every gun without an issue. The best way I can describe it is when a ball would jam the spire would 'jump' up and over the problem ball and reset itself in proper position (hence the need for the 'Spire' part). The flip lid is a little different in angle of position, but worked fine. It did NOT have a crown on it. The shells came apart easily, and are similar to the Rotor and the entire unit was super easy to take apart and clean if needed. The tall 'Spire' piece does NOT sit under the flip lid, it's farther in and doesn't get in the way of anything, loading or otherwise. I myself plan on using one, due to the fact that it was problem free, for both myself and a team mate who tried it (We wanted to see how it did with his BL Victory). I like the Rotor, but honestly the Spire worked better at this event. Right now the MSRP is set under that of the DYE Rotor, just fyi.

That 'Headphone jack' is the end of the battery tray.
