rollers for 173 (Rage) in 2002
 

i was wondering if someone from 173 (Rage) or someone else who might know could tell me what material was used for the belts and the rollers. Meaning the acquirer... this was a ball acquirer / collector. these look like round rubber or polyurethane belts.


Where to get poly belts that are nice?

Thanks

I believe it was polycord brand urethane round belt. Mcmaster stocks similar stuff.

I also believe the rollers were made of wood.

From the pictures this is what it looks like to me.
Polycord has a million uses :)

He's right. I don't know how well it works though, because we don't have any of our robots with that style basket still assembled.

If you have any other questions, please ask.
