This worked pretty well, but on our elevator conveyer the polycord would often slip out, even in competition, and this proved the biggest disadvantage of our system.
Can't answer for GUS, but my team used solid Delrin and lathed grooves into it for our rollers (the overall design was very similar to GUS's). The polycords still slipped, but not very often.
