Re: Grippy material

For the rollers on the end of our grabber, we used...dog toys. The kind that were rubber balls with the small nubs on them. They worked absolutely amazing, had a better grip on the tubes than any other material we could find, even better than plaction tread. The belts were polycord though, and they worked well too.
