I'm really interested in how well this works, do you have any videos?

Re: pic: Thera-Band material

Nice! How effective did you find it was?

Do you think there are any advantages over polycord?

How did you splice the ends?

I believe they come as a closed loop band. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

We used Thera-Band as a prototype shooter wheel material in 2009. It worked awesomely.

Nice idea using it as an intake belt!

That particular one was connected using rubber cement. I explicitly asked the team that question.

I only recall seeing them out on the field once, but it was moving a ball at the time, so feel free to draw a conclusion from that data point.

What exactly do those weights measure? If I were to apply the rated force to pull the band how far would it stretch?

Resistive force (albeit in mass units!) at a certain percent elongation:



EDIT: more data is available in the Thera-Band Instruction Manual. The OP's table corresponds to approximately 50% elongation.

Well right from the get go it has the advantage of not needing a 2 inch diameter pulley to work.

Just thought I would comment because this looks like it could help people with their frisbee intake ideas! I will show this to my team and see what they think!
