It is an interesting story. Mike Trapp of Waterjet Cutting of Indiana is a friend and a great FIRST supporter. He started off his FRC "life" helping out my old team in Indiana (The RoboDevils 1018) We have stayed in touch and when our team needed something... he came through.
The team did the design and they are different and have the hex hole cut into them. The are a little beefier in the fingers than the originals and slightly bigger. Cut from red silicon rubber on his OMAX waterjet.
I have to really thank Mike for these... they work great and now Mike can say he has made FRC parts for teams from the EAST Coast all the way to the WEST coast.
Mike is one of those unsung FRC heroes, of which there are MANY, that continue to unselfishly support FRC teams from many areas. If you ever get a chance to meet him, you should thank him for all the work he has done.
( By the way, I would think you might have a difficult time hex broaching sticky silicon rubber. but I might be wrong.)
