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!
