Re: Black Roughtop

you may want to try an industrial rubber supplier in the closes big city .I located one where I live and they had huge rolls of conveyor belting. And I mean 60" wide and 6' in diameter. - I asked to go thru there stock and found all the different belting you see on virtually every robot at a regional. I bought a piece of wedge grip the flat diamond stuff a lot of teams use. tan in colour for about 50$. 3ft. x 4ft. that way you can cut it any size you want.this place I sent to allowed me to go thru the small "scrap pieces bin" and that is what I picked out.

They also can make belts- they have all the special volcanizing material to make treads of the same thing if you choose.

- I felt I was in robot tread heaven.!!!

good luck and happy shopping.
