Re: pic: Custom Wheels
how well do they grip the balls, thats one issue I've foreseen, is that your flywheels won't impart enough momentum on the balls in the time that they are in contact, do you plan to say wrap them in Velcro?

gum roughtop tread works really well, there are other materials also that can grip the balls well. Velcro affects the fabric on the balls, so it's probably not the way to go.

They're never going to touch the balls.

We'll use wedge-top or neoprene rubber for traction on the roller surface.
