I hope that the sales volume is sufficient to cover the up-front cost of the tooling.

Unless he's got someone to make him a mold for free, there's just no way he can make a profit off these. The cost of getting a mold made is going to be extremely extremely high if it's being paid for.

1529 will be sporting these fancy accessories on our 2009 robot. They just came in today and they look awesome.

I bought a pair for my control system practice bot. They come in a great package with 2 rubber bands and 3 zip ties.

The robot was originally built for a college capstone project. The bot worked great except the chains would fall off. I haven't had a chance to try the tensioners yet.
