Pivot driven by chain and a torque transfer bar, separate stationary wheel axles, bent polycarb funnel, mounted with nutstrips

Some rollers are decoupled so the pivot for the intake can be lowered below the ball path
-
Uses rollers to center a piece against bent polycarb, then flips it back for a passthrough. Examples of how to mount cameras and sensors to allow more automation
