Re: Anyone tried a slip ring?

Slip rings are tricky--not necessarily because they're tough to work with, but because the GDC may or may not allow them. Last year, they were legal, and 973 used them on an offseason swerve, IIRC. Before that, the last time I remember them being legal was 2008 (190 used a custom one at the base of their mast).
