Great looking design, I came up with a similar thing on paper before one of our Off-season events, didn't end up building it though.

My weight calculations were about 18lb, with a 10:1 VersaPlanetary with CIM(belt drive with 24t pulley) with the Igus Linear guides that were available in FIRST choice 2015(were also available in 2016).

I also thought about having it sitting on a thin plastic sheet, like HDPE, Delrin or Polycarbonate to reduce friction and to make it easier to intake the stack, especially for landfill bots without touch it own it intake wheel systems
