Very nice, looks sharp! What are your collector rollers made of? The clear plastic is pretty cool to see through, especially spotting the center bearing in the front roller. I also like how the centering belts are slaved off of the intake belts.
Also, what motor/gear combo did you have on collector lift that was giving you issues?
We actually have a very similar collector (and hope to add a similar shooter later with carry-in allowance, but prioritized climbing over shooting). Our collector uses 3 separate motors though, centering, intake, and rotate up/down. Our rotate is powered by a bag CIM geared 500:1, no brake mechanism (100:1 VersaPlanetary, then VP spur gears 14:70) So far no major issues, and only one smoked motor - from stalling against a hard-stop before limits and closed-loop control were added.
