Re: The spread of pinching rollers this year

We started off with a vacuum when we shipped. After seeing the 148/217 videos we built a roller assembly and took it to Florida in week 2. We ran UCF with the vacuum. We installed the rollers at Palmetto and struggled all weekend getting it tuned in. We designed a new roller system for Atlanta that floated up and down. Once we dialed it in, we did well with it. One thing that inspired us was seeing the carpet tape on 67. We put double sided tape on the bottom roller and balls were easier to grab. We did notice the ref looking closely at ours one round, so we pointed out to the head ref after the round that it floated. He seemed satisfied.
