We are having some great success with our conveyor which we constructed a belt from a plastic carpet runner cut down to size and riveted together so that the knubby side is out... ours works great with one bottom belt running on smooth bearing rollers (the drive roller has a pool noodle glued to it) and the other surface that the ball contacts on the top of the ball is simply a piece of a flat foam PVC panel with the anti-slip mat glued to it...

Our conveyor is driven very fast by a modified FP motor which I detialed in another post:
