The drive gearboxes were made using RAMP style layout and pocketing techniques. Our shooter has several components heavily inspired by 973's 2011 elevator. The initial concept for the arm gearbox came from a lot of west coast robots I've seen - using a 1" face to mount and stand off a gearbox.
Thanks for being open and sharing design information, we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are as a team without it.

Glad to hear the information was helpful. Hopefully some other teams end up doing something similar, as it'd be great to see someone else ramble through their design process!
