Quick thoughts on what would make this work better:

2. More durable stiff material, probably aluminum or steel sheet, but I think ABS would be fine if a 15 degree approach is observed.

4. More durable pliable material. Lawn edging does not stand up to repeated ground scraping, and I doubt that coroplast is a ton better. Conveyor belting seems like the way to go.
The black grill looks awesome. Have you considered to redo it with aluminum?
