swipe bumpers (rotating motors)could also make a great alternative to the pop bumpers if you can keep the noise and vibration down.

OEM 1 1/16 ballbearings might be a bit large for cost so i'll be ordering 10 16 mm bearings for 9$ on ebay or use gumballs

the 16mm bearings seem like a nice size for the smaller actuators
