Looks like that Tormach is treating you well!

What is that rubber-looking material you are using on the intake?

Treating us well is an understatement! The orange rubber material is part number 3482K4 from Mcmaster(http://www.mcmaster.com/#rubber-angles/=lqooc9). It's just orange rubber angle, nice and stiff, pulls the frisbee right in!

After some practice we have modified the intake slightly, instead of double wrap all the way around, we do four straight strips across the roller. With the spiraled rubber it would tend to funnel the frisbees to one side preventing us from picking up two frisbee's. With the straight rubber it solved the problem!

Can't wait to see the climb now

I was definitely looking at that exact stuff yesterday, debating whether or not to order it! Thought it would be too stiff. I do believe I will place an order now thanks to your input. Thanks!

Yup! As you can see in this picture he wears a backpack over the shooter to hold up too four Frisbee's. We ran out of time before we could attach the competition one so that will be done at WPI on Thursday.
