[QOUTE]I never understood why they were made with a 0.5" square bore instead of hex. I imagine (with absolutely no real-world testing of course) these new wheels won't work as well as the entrapption stars for intakes of spheres, like the boulders this year because the stars can get more than tangential contact. I would love to see AndyMark come with with a v2 of the stars with a 0.5" hex bore just for ease of use.

We used modified entrapption stars that had hex bores to collect the frisbees from the floor in Ultimate Ascent... they worked quite well. We had a friend from Indianapolis make them for us. (Mike Trapp actually) He is a great guy by the way!! An unsung supporter of FIRST and STEM education.
