Your robot looks neat- I like the roller system. I also went to visit your website, and that's really nice too. Keep up the great work!

Looks pretty good guys!

Keep up the good work.

i love your roller idea. i wanted to do something along these lines for ours but oh well lol i bet it will perform very well.
will you be controlling with one motor with a continual speed or varying speeds?

Does anyone have any ideas on how to drive all of these rollers at once? I'd really appreciate it if you would post them. So far we've tried some picnic table covers (high friction and decently effective) string looped around each roller in one big loop (kind of hard to explain). And doing a daisy chain with rubber bands (do not try it -_-)

Polyurethane cord.
String.
#25 chain.
Timing belt.

You might try doing these in a series of short loops, instead of one long loop.

Plastic chain. 1114 used it in 2006 to lift the poofballs.
