#Carbon roller vs splat roller splat zones series#
The roller itself has a series of stripe indents across it, and is coated with the player's ink when their tank isn't empty. The ends of the paint roller are covered with black disks. The supports curve around to make a handle at the end of the tank, looking like a handlebar from a bike, having what resembles a brake lever on the back. The roller frame has red supports on either side connecting it to the ink tank. The frame of the roller resembles that of a bicycle, and the ink tank is connected to it by a bike's bottle holder, and the tank itself is designed to look like a sports bottle. Unlike the other rollers, the frame is attached to both sides of the paint roller. The main parts of the Carbon Roller are an ink tank and a cylindrical roller frame, both of which change color to match the user's ink.
