I posted a topic on here and asked about it when we had our problem, and everyone suggested surgical tubing, so I think you'll be fine with it.
Great, it's just too bad we can't test it out now since we disassembled our robot arm last night for shipping. Thanks for the tip though, it's a shame we'll have try it out during the practice matches.
