Sure,

The Front Roller Is A Banebot RS545 with a 20:1 Transmission that spins at about 600 rpm. This Sucks Balls into a hopper which is the blue area in the front.

The Black Roller at the bottom and the orange one in the middle are connected with a belt that acts as a conveyor system for the balls. This is powered by a fisher price motor with gearbox.

The Top Most Roller is powered by a Globe with about a 1:4 Ratio and it spins pretty quickly for being Globe Powered. This roller acts as a stop so that balls can be staged in the conveyor system or we can reverse it and it helps pop the balls out.
