Where can I get those Orange polycords?

[ReijiH]

I've been looking at robots from previous years, and I found many teams using orange-colored polycords (or something that looks like one) on their conveir. Could someone tell me the name, dealer, or some sort of contact for the manufacture of those poly cord? (Or, any other hi-traction round cords.) I'd much appreciate it.

McMaster Carr. It's Urethane belt, it comes in many different widths and thicknesses. It can be expensive... look here:

I was looking under mcmasters as "cords" "polycords" etc, no wonder I couldn't find that stuff!

Maybe some other team might be interested on this info;

I asked Technokat's engineer, Andy Baker about where they got the orange cord for their bot two years ago.


Reiji,

Sorry for not getting back with you quicker.

This orange belt is urethane and it is made by Eagle Belting. We purchased ours
through Motion Industries. You can probably find a Motion Industries on the web
or locally... they are a nationwide company who has outlets all over. Please
post this information on the ChiefDelphi Forums, if you wish.

good luck.

Andy
