If a ball delivery system (hopper) is attached to the top of the shooter is the hopper considered to be part of the shooting mechanism and subject to the limitations of rule S03?

A shooter includes the mechanism that delivers the final dynamic impulse that ejects the ball from the robot, and any parts of the robot that contact the ball while and/or after this impluse is delivered. Depending on their exact design and construction, a subsystem that delivers balls into the final energy transfer mechanism may or may not be considered part of the shooter.
Ball delivery mechanisms that are not part of the shooter are not automatically limited to the operating volumes indicated in Rule <S03>. However, they still must satisfy all relevent 2006 FRC rules.
