CAD + math says it's very possible. I don't think we'll keep our 120 Fuel hopper though in favor of a slightly smaller hopper with a faster indexing system. I will say that in order to have a large hopper size, you're giving yourself less room for your gear mechanism, and your climber. Teams have to determine if these tradeoffs are worth it.
