Hey guys, awesome conveyer belt design. I wanted to ask what material the conveyer belt is made out of. We've seen other teams use polycord and whatnot, but what you guys are using seems a lot better XP.
@TroyFRC3952 The belts aren't necessarily any better than polycord. The belts are fixed in length, so there is no easy way to adjust it or customize it for the length of elevator your bot needs. Polycord can be melted together or secured with barbs when using hollow core, and it behaves exactly the same as this stuff. Don't get fixated on "coolness."
It's good to know we're not the only ones who do the hacky tests with the drill :D
