I think your gearbox would be the least dependent part of the strategy; you seem to be using it only to build up stored energy in surgical tubing. What seems to be the real things that are purpose built and difficult to replicate include the height at which the shot exits and the length of the lever arm. Regardless, this is an effective strategy to get through with in qualification rounds, provided you have at least one other alliance partner who has a robot wit ha working drivebase and preferable herding mechanism, and for that partner to have a human player ready to effectively inbound.
