My team is also experimenting with the same type of rollers to pick up the ball and is concerned about the system's strength. What type of materials are your rollers made of and how are they attached to their gearboxes?

our rollers are made out of schedule 80 PVC with rubber tubing for grip. We have heat formed the end of the PVC using a hex shaft so the slide right on the output shaft of the gearboxes. We then just drilled a hole through the shafts and pvc, and locked it in with a bolt.
