It seems that rollers won't be able to handle deflated tubes. Have you tried that yet?

We basically don't care about fully deflated tubes. If there happens to be a popped one we will move on to the next.

Is that polycord or urethane belting? How is the grip? My team is opting for surgical tubing like this for the grippiness of it.

polycord. grip is pretty good actually. we are spacing the cords apart and wrapping nitrile between the cords so they dont slide side to side. we are also going with thicker nitrile potentially on the real robot.

I think I could count on two hands the number of deflated tubes I played with during the entire 2007 season. If you [general] want to work with them, go right ahead, but I suspect you're making more trouble for yourself than it's worth, both in design and competition.

I think he was saying that he doesn't see why people are worrying about popped tubes.

I concur with this interpretation.

Perhaps this may have been a better statement:

That being said, I agree with Chris.
