2363 System Integration testing

Here is a short video of some system integration testing of Genome Epsilon.

Minor problems seen in this video:
- Oversized weld beads at pickup arm throat cause disks to catch. Weld beads need filed away.
- Hopper out of round at the top causes bad stacking of top disks and misfire during rapid firing. Hopper to be replaced with different cylinder.
- Backlash in shafting that controls pickup arm angle. Not a critical problem. Need to troubleshoot source.
