Cheezy Poofs' Wheel Material
 

I noticed several teams at nationals using a tan colored rubber material on their wheels and gripping surfaces . The Cheezy-Poof's had this material on their wheels. Attached is an image of this material on the Cheezy - Poof's robot. Does anyone know what this material is called and where it is available? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

"conveyor belt from McMaster Carr, we buy it in 4" wide by the foot, I believe our team was the first to use it, we used it first offseason on our 2001 champ robot, then used it on our 2003 robot cuz needed the extra traction." Mark Miller

Team 60 has been using it for quite a while too. At one point it was unoffically dubbed "Team 60 tread" due to all the success they had with it.

I found the McMaster Carr listing for conveyor belts at this site http://www.mcmaster.com/asp/enter.asp?pagenum=1088
but couldn't identify which of the listed materials is the type mentioned above. Does anyone know which listed material it is?
