The Ingest uses two modified GoBilda wheels to suck in blocks and balls. We removed the material in-between the spokes of the wheels to increase the grip.
There is a belt inside the small c-channel that transfers the driving force down to the gummy wheels.
Inside the c-channel there is a GoBuilda motor and bevel gear set to transfer the rotation 90 degrees to the shaft that turns the belt.
