In 2006 we constructed a conveyor system using multiple band of surgical tubing stretched between to rollers. We used contact cement and were able to force one end of the tubing into the other. The contact cement was used wet i.e. we did not wait for it to dry first. The wet contact cement acted as a lubricant for about a minute while we used needle nose pliers to force one end into the other. It was not easy to do and we got cement everywhere. Clean up was a pain. Several students got good at putting them together. We made about 30 total when you include spares. During competition we used about 15 on the 'bot and lost about 5 total during the regional. We replaced these between matches.
