Go to Post If it's the loss of American lives that concerns the nation, why not campaign aggressively against smoking, or improve automobile safety? At least then, the benefits will be tangible, and substantially more significant to the well being of the locals. - Tristan Lall [more]

Although I'm worried that we wont have enough power to lift palls up our elevator. Any experience with this?

Also, if we have wheels on our roller (1/2 shaft) how would I incorporate them into my calculations? Specifically on JVN.

Personally I would have your intake and elevator on seperate motors. It's probally best if you are capable of controlling them seperatly if a game piece jam happens. This should also take some of the stress off of that 775pro (even thogh it is overkill anyway)
