We (Team 926) used green garden fencing for our hopper sides. Held it in place with zip ties. Only had to replace one zip tie between regionals and championships.

We used Polycarbonate tubes for our ball collecting rollers, along with Roundthane tubing for belts. "Pulleys" were constructed by slipping short pieces of 2"OD tubing over 1.75"OD tubing and securing with acrylic weld.
