What is the compression? How does the coral just start to rotate, I feel like it should stay straight.

Very light compression, around 0.25 inches. No idea how it centers off of the wall. Prolly our prayers to dean kamen or smthing.

Huh, if you do some more testing, let me know how it works.

I like how this seems simpler and more reliable than polybelt or star rollers. What are those grey rollers on the sides made of? Also, have you considered testing with a bottom roller?

This is cool, reminds me 1690’s 2023 intake.

Those grey rollers are 2in mechanum wheels covered by duct tape. It might cause lower grip but the primary reason was that the hard wheels were being damaged.

i measured it its 0.3 inches compression. 5.2 inches from bottom plate to the center of the roller (2 inches diameter wheels, coral is 4.5 inches diameter)

After more testing, we’re moving on from this style, it doesn’t center at low speed.

We’re likely going to move to the “V” style star based centering so please ignore.
