Sweet machine and good looking shooter.
I also noticed that your front bumpers appear to be beveled to feed your harvester.
We asked the question and got this responce from the GDC:
Q. We have a harvester to pick up balls from the court. Is it permissible to bevel the bumpers at the entrance of the harvester to assist with the ball pickup as long as the bumper backing is at least 8 inches long? FRC1501 2012-02-04
A. Any cross-section of a Bumper backed by plywood must match that in Figure 4-5 (not beveled). Per Rule [R28-C], cushion material may extend up to 2-½ in. beyond the end of the plywood, which may be beveled

Good luck this year.
