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.

You can guess how much force your intake will experience from lifting game pieces, compression, wheels on the shaft providing inertia, and a variety of other factors, but the best way to see if it will work is to prototype. If you haven't built a model of your intake with approx. the gear ratio you want, I would suggest doing that. If you don't have access to the right motor and gearbox, at least try with a hand drill on drill speed to make sure that you don't need too much torque.
