Rubber Bands
VEX Rubber Bands have dozens of uses on a robot. Their spring-like properties make them perfect for latches, triggers, and return mechanisms. EPDM Rubber Bands and Synthetic Rubber Bands work better for high elongation uses, while Silicone Rubber Bands have a higher coefficient of friction against many types of plastic, enabling your intake mechanisms to grip objects easier. See the Material Type tab below for information regarding latex content.
