Why did you decide to go with #35 chain this year, instead of the usual #25?

Sector gears on the back are driven by the servo to adjust shot trajectory
Why did you use a servo in place of the pistons you used in 2014? I'm guessing it was for theoretically infinite hood positions, but I would think 4 or so would be enough. I guess it could possibly require some motor speed modification, but I would think that would be fairly easy...

A surgical tubing feeder roller on a dead axle is driven by a BAG motor with a compact 5-stage reducing using lightened 32DP gears.
Isn't a bag motor with a 5-stage gearbox a bit overkill...? I would think having some mechanism like a piston ball loader would be enough, or at least a bag motor with a (planetary?) gearbox with fewer stages

Thanks in advance for any response.
