Ok, so I figured out the answer to most of those questions (I finally found the robot reveal video on YouTube), I am however still curious as to what kind of surgical tubing you guys used for the shooter, and what the reduction is on the planetary used on the collector.

Mcmaster Black Latex Tubing, 1/2" OD x .25" ID I believe. Also, 9:1 reduction for the pickup with a MiniCIM driving it.
