Our prototype for an intake mechanism basically involves a 3/8" shaft with Banebot wheels (with blue polyurethane). They get amazing traction on the frisbees, so try them out. If you have any questions, feel free to ask
which are the banebot wheels, ive heardof the banebot motors, but never of the wheel, it sounds pertty intresting, do you know where i can see them?
