Take a look at those plate sprockets. With those you will be able to put a bearing in the middle, and use the 1.875 inch bolt circle to attach to your rotating lever. This will allow the shaft to spin independent of the plate the sprocket is bolted to.
We have some of these on order, but they won't be in until monday. A local team is hosting a practice competition day this saturday, and we need to gerry rig something before then, just to get a feel for it. Right now I'm thinking drill into a sprocket, make it wide enough for a bearing , and then put spacers between the lever and the sprocket (to make room for the chain), and drill holes into the side of the sprocket and lever, and just run long bolts through them.

Some one PLEASE tell me if there is a better idea that i can do with just normal sprockets, hex bearings, screws, and a drill bit
