Re: Sabre Bytes 772 - 2013 - Present FLASH

Very slick design. Love the LEDs. My team has went with simple this year as well. Could you give me some more details about the green belt that you are using to feed frisbees into the shooter (seen in the video at 3:51)? Did you purchase it from McMaster? What about the pulleys driving it? Seems to work very well. Thanks.

Edit: Drivetrain looks like ours as well. Have you experienced wear on the tread of the Versa Wheels? Our center wheel has been wearing faster than the others causing slower turning and I am wondering if once the pointier part of the tread wears off, the larger surface area wears less. Might just have to swap center wheels at competition.
