Re: Anyone tried a slip ring?

We had planned on using slip rings in our 2010 robot before they were deemed illegal.

They weren't all that necessary anyways; our coding was set up to automatically untwist the wires if they got wrapped up too much from turning (three revolutions, I think). Here's a video of it in action. I think you can see it "correcting" itself at 2:12.
