Thanks in advance.

The gearbox powering our intake/climber is an AM Sonic Shifter with a 14.8:1 low gear and a 3.7:1 high gear. There are two CIM motors powering it. It's a little bit slow as an intake on high gear, but is quite sufficient in low gear for our climb.

Not nearly enough. We are planning to add some more polycarbonate to make it better at keeping balls inside and increasing capacity for future demonstration events. Right now I would estimate we're around 10-15 balls maximum "stay in the robot" amount.
