How good are compliant wheels as an indexer?

I see a lot of teams using conveyer belts to transport the power cells to a shooter but our team doesn’t have any :(. I was wondering if compliant wheels could work if it was just a straight inclined path towards a shooter?

yea it should but you would need a lot of hex shaft depending on how long you want to go as well you need a way power all those wheels but as long as the wheels are getting good contact with the powercells it should work fine

One reason why my team is using polycord (not a conveyor belt but close) is to remove potential deadzones in our elevator to the shooter. Also powering a large set of wheels is tougher than polycord/conveyors; use some rollers, run the cord/belt and then power one end of the roller.
