The whole collector is driven off of a BAG on a Versaplanetary with..... I believe a 100:1 reduction then a (minor) multiplier with an 18t vex gear on the output of the planetary and a 16t on the input of the collector driveshaft. I actually don't remember what the reduction in the VP gearbox is, I'll check whenever I end up back at the shop.

Lucas should be back here to answer any questions about the printers we use.
