 Consider how nature does this, and emulate. Nature usually has a pretty good algorithm. - DonRotolo [more] |

Re: The spread of pinching rollers this year
I know we made the change after peachtree and seeing how ineffective the vacuum was compared to the awesome pinching roller of 148/217. We went into peachtree knowing we would be changing the design and ended up showing up to champs with a pinching roller with the whole assembly on linear bearings to allow ~1" of vertical play so that the ball always stayed in contact with the floor during normal play.
The roller worked incredibly well and allowed us to really play to our full potential once we worked all the bugs out about halfway through friday of champs. Thanks 148/217 for posting the video and answering questions about the design. Both programs are quite inspiring in there dominating designs.
