I hope you dont think im trying to design your robot with this idea, but how about.

1) Dropping those facy transmissions for a KOP gearbox (they're really nice for a straight drivetrain)
2) since you wont need to shift gears anymore, drop that hefty little compressor.
3)Feel free to eliminate a wheel off the center if you can.
4)got freshmen? speedholes not included, but you can throw a thousand or so on there.
5) One wheeled shooters work just fine, ours has been doing great

IF you keep your robot how it is, best of luck (I personally love dumper bots), but i think a bigger, less beefy hopper might be in order if you arent shooting balls.

Just one (almost) freshman's perspective, and i hope your reconstruction goes well (my team rebuilt the robot at 2 regionals last year, and we ended up with a nice machine.)

Best Wishes,
