Re: Shooter opposite wall

We use what some people call the roll-on equivalent of the polyurethane roller material 254 and other teams use. It's Scotch® Rubber Mastic Tape 2228, and it looks like this. It comes in a few widths. I believe we picked it up at OSH.

As for compression, we didn't measure. Our wheels and the motor mounts were adjustable, so we started testing with just a little bit, adding compression until the distance stopped increasing or started decreasing.
