The green painters tape we purchased is not the right shade of green, and we can't find the right one anywhere.

If you have 6 wheel bot, you can drop center wheels by 1/16" and see if it works. Many FRC 6 wheel bots have this.

Our robot is light, which is why we've been doing it and it works.

It is a 6 Wheel robot, but having a 1/16" drop is more difficult in FTC where the channels are already made a certain way and whatnot. Not saying it can't be done, but I'm not sure if the hassle is worth it to not only MAYBE achieve it, but also butcher two expensive channels when tape has worked for us just fine.
