OK I misunderstood you question the first time. Yes there is on forward shaft and on middle shaft. Neither r of These are interested, and the reason for the 3 belts is to guide the ball to the middle set of rollers. This was done because on tended to make the ball intake more off centre. The middle roller is there to bring to ball into the robot.

And where I said rearguard I meant rearward or the middle shaft.

Hopefully this answers your questions.
