So I've come to ask it again.

Can anyone link me or show me where to get PVC rollers for conveyor systems utilizing polycord?

Last year we were so misguided we ended up buying those foam rollers (the ones used for exercise).

Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure what foam rollers you speak of, but a lot of teams just purchase PVC from Home Depot or a similar store for their rollers. It is just pvc tubing that teams can machine grooves into or put rings around the PVC pipe to capture the polycord in place, but it is nothing special.

Other teams use other materials for their tubing: aluminum, acetal, polycarbonate, etc.
