Polycarbonate wrapped in Silicone Tubing is a tried-and-tested option for FIRST Robotics Competition scoring element manipulation. Whether it be in an intake, a conveyor, or anything else that needs to move a game piece, teams have used these materials for years to create grippy, compliant systems to get things moving.

In the documentation tab, files are provided for 3D printed inserts into these tubes to allow them to be driven directly by timing belts in both dead-axle and live-axle systems, as well as a STEP assembly demonstrating how they can be used.

This product is delivered unassembled.

Check out our video showing how to apply the silicone tubing over the polycarbonate.
