*edit*
It appears this picture and the next are both from your robot, and based on that I'd have to say fisher price driving the lift in the front, a window motor driving the back, widebot configuration. Sound about right?
Fisher price for the front (shorter belts) and a van door motor for the rear belts.

We went with narrow and ackerman steering.

The conveyor is just under the limit, and it can hold about 6 -7 balls (yet to be tested).

Everything but the wide bot config was right. (I think the pic angle may have thrown you off)

BTW we are using a prototype chassis, so the drivers can get practice while builder work out the kinks.
