Re: Grippy material

We used 1/8" diam polyurethane cord loops (lengths were cut together, then melted together at the ends with a cigarette lighter) in our claw to manipulate the tube, and black friction tread (I'm not sure from where) on the rollers to pull in the tube.

I recall another alternative to the roller tread being rollerblade wheels.
