#64 Rubber Bands

I have direct experience with all types of alliance and the platinum crepe bands.
Get the platinum crepe. They are leagues better and almost never break. Only reason I would not recommend them is if s very precise amount of banding is needed or you want weak bands, and they are nearly twice as strong as alliance.

Rubber Banding Resources:

See the rest of @therealcedz UTRBs post...

Most teams use this sort of rubber band system on their lift (4 bar, 6 bar, 8 bar, etc.): <a href="http://i.imgur.com/EOkMWQx.png" rel="nofollow noopener">[image]</a> This system is great due to complexity vs. effectiveness. Just by putting a couple of pieces of metal (in this case, standoffs and screws) and rubber bands, the stress on the motors is greatly reduced. However, some of you m…

Non Latex Rubber Bands

Hello! Our team was recently at a competition, and another team that we were alliance parters with told us that the rubber bands we used were not allowed since they were latex based.
