Re: Rollers with official game piece
1583 is usuing two of the banebot 20:1 gearboxes with FPs. For the rollers we are using banebot 3 7/8 60d (orange) wheels. We vary the speed depending on what we want to do. We have a variety of balls and it seems to work equally as well on all of them. We've found that for ball aquisition the wheels need to spin slow. To move with the ball backwards or left & right faster. We're going to a scrimage tomorrow and we'll let you know more then. Best advice is try the wheels instead of a roller.
