Re: Centering and Driving Flat Belts

Last year we were one of the few teams at the Granite State Regional that could pick up frisbees reliably from the floor. We used a flat belt system.

We found the necessary rollers at the local True Value hardware store! They were in the section of the store that had furniture rollers and glides. They had a convex profile. They were mounted in sort of a foot, but we just drilled that out and used the rollers. They worked just fine with a 1" urethane flat belt.
