Re: pic: 1058 Low Expectations Intake Render

We built a very similar intake this past year but powered the rollers off of the upper feed system (to reduce motors and save weight), and direct-drove the angle-adjustment motor by internally coupling it to an extension inside the roller.

In retrospect it was way over-complicated and this looks like it would have been a much simpler (and easier to maintain) way to go.
