Are you using a CIM (or two) to raise and lower your arm? It is hard to tell from the angles and distances from the camera in the video. What sort of issues are you having with the gearing?

Pictures of what? I can take some while I'm at the shop tomorrow. We were using 1 CIM in a 40:1 gearbox and then 20:84 gears. The issues we were having were due to the arm being ~3 ft long with a 10 lbs shooter on the end. When we went over the defences the stress on the teeth of the gears sheared them which is why there is no footage of us going over defences in the reveal. We reconfigured our arm so it's less than a foot long and that fixed the issue.
