Wish these were out for our FTC robot this year. The particles are really rigid.

Ok, so should we see the hex shaft removing silicone from the inside of the hex when we press it in, or should the material stretch to fit around the hex shaft?

Hmm... How sharp will the hex shaft be?

Do we round off the end of a Churro, and push that through?

Or freeze the part, then push a hex broach through it?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

The wheel should stretch around the axle.

Re: New AndyMark Product Game Hint???

This is a great product that basically didn't exist before and is far cheaper / lighter than the previous COTS solution for this particular product. I think whining that the color isn't perfect is really not productive!

I also don't think this is, necessarily, inspired by the game. Compliant wheels have been gaining traction (heh) for years, for both intakes and shooters; for compliant game pieces or rigid ones. Did I mention the alternative was $30 on McMaster and with a hub weighed like a pound?

I'm curious to see how well these hold up at 5K RPM, and if they slip on the shaft or anything at that high of a speed.

I'm not so sure these are well suited for shooters, but time, and testing, will tell.
AM does recommend them for intakes and conveyors though.

I think these might be good for shooting some things. Maybe wiffle balls?

But the GDC would never do that to us, right?
