What material did u use for the pulleys?

[joeweber]

we used a 1 in hole saw to cut 1/4 in aluminum and then put it on a lath to cut the groove.

First word that popped into my head: Claw•E

Haha.

For rigorous use in non-lab environments, I see a bevel or worm gear setup in this claw's future. Nice design, especially for an FRC bot.
