Re: PVC Rollers?

Other teams use other materials for their tubing: aluminum, acetal, polycarbonate, etc.
I don't have a picture on me, but for some of the bots I saw, the grooves were HUGE and DEEP.

Like, anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2" deep. I haven't seen PVC with a wall that thick, unless they were using a bunch of small segments of PVC connected by some sort of fittings to simulate grooves.
