Re: Need Help With Wire Recoiling

Thanks EricH, we tried it out but we still had an issue with slack. Though, we found our solution. What we did is we put the elevator at its highest point. On the highest point of the first stage, we put it along the side. Then we measure how much cable it would take to go from the first stage to the bottom. Now, when the arm comes down, the wire comes down in a sort of U-shape. It is nice and straight when it is at its highest point and its lowest point. Thank you for the help Alan and Eric! ^^
