Me and team 1072 are bringing up the tools to replace pinions, if you need anything done at SVR, just come on over and we'll be glad to help you guys out with this.
Thanks for the offer, Veselin, but I think Cory was kind of vague in his explanation of why we weren't using the FPs on Saturday of the PNW Regional. They weren't taken off the robot because of some sort of mechanical failure that we couldn't deal with. We just decided that the cost / benefit tradeoff with either having the FPs or another component on the robot (due to the 120-pound weight constraint) didn't end up in the FP's favor; so off they came. No decision has been 100% decided on for SVR, though, so we'll see what happens there.

Also, I would say that the hopper by itself can easily hold 20-25 balls, along with having ~5-8 balls in the conveyor system in a match situation.
