Re: need help findinga conveyor that can be modified to hold a ball
If you're asking about the Intralox stuff, team 3753 is using it as well. I'm not sure about the pricing because it was free to teams at the Stennis space center kickoff(though I'm sure we'll need to find out in order to do a BOM), but i think it's around $20/foot. It's really high quality commercial stuff and they custom make the shafts that you need. It is also really easy to "break" apart and rejoin it so that you can adjust the length easily.The only inconvenience we've run into is that it doesn't hold tension very well and needs a solid backing behind it(i.e. sheet metal, plywood, plastic sheeting, anything that can be rounded off where it won't get caught on the belt).
