A rotating beacon hitter that stretches across the frame of the sweeper was added to more easily hit beacons in end game.

Additionally, diagonals beams were added on both sides of the linear lift claw to prevent the claws from bending inward and getting stuck on the linear lift which prevents them from coming down.

The axles of the sweeper were replaced with smaller ones so that the rotating back beacon pressers could rotate freely and the hubs were moved onto the inside of the channel so that they wouldn’t touch the back wheels anymore.

The sweeper holders were replaced with wood blocks instead of pvc, so that there would be more friction to prevent the noodles from rotating.

The zipties used to guide the balls throughout the sweeping system were replaced with wood triangles that have a sharper angle so that particles could be transported faster.
