Roll Hoop
« on: January 27, 2013, 01:05:54 PM »
Anyone been able to make an effective roll hoop? I don't really want to have a srimech as the motor will use more power.

Possibly a hoop made out of 22.5 anglers; the ones I've made work about 75% of the time. They break pretty easily though, so not worth the weight expenditure IMO.


But now that I think about it, you could probably do it with a large DSL disc jutting out of the top, assuming the bot is small enough that the disc encompasses everything.
