Re: Rhino Track Shooter

If you're not bearing the load of an entire robot, you could try just using off-the-shelf conveyor belting, that is without the synchronous belt backing that Rhino Tracks have. We tried some last year on an intake prototype and it wasn't *too* hard to implement (though definitely would be more work than a wheeled shooter for any team). It would be a challenge to keep everything running smoothly at high speeds, but then again the Rhino treads might have the same issues.
