We are a rookie team so we don't have a lot of resources.. Nor do we have scrap material from previous years. Anything we want to build we would have to order.
Is there an easy way to build this pickup?

They built their intake using very basic parts. To build an intake like theirs, I would pickup some aluminum square tubing from a local hardware store, shaft (preferably hex shaft from VEX), shaft collars, wheels that fit the shaft, bearings that fit the shaft, sprockets, chain, and a geared motor.
You can PROBABLY do without bearings
