Wow!

That looks really well designed! The quality of your CAD is phenomenal.

What was the motivation behind using belts instead of wheels to shoot the balls? My old team tried something similar for reasons that IMO did not make sense. The end result was a horribly inefficient system that (despite using two CIMs) could only fire a miserable 15'. It looks like your system is far better designed and probably vastly more efficient but still, 4 motors for the shooter is a lot.
