Although I'm worried that we wont have enough power to lift palls up our elevator. Any experience with this?

Also, if we have wheels on our roller (1/2 shaft) how would I incorporate them into my calculations? Specifically on JVN.

Personally I would have your intake and elevator on seperate motors. It's probally best if you are capable of controlling them seperatly if a game piece jam happens. This should also take some of the stress off of that 775pro (even thogh it is overkill anyway)
