Re: Poly Cord
Speaking as someone who was on a team which had little trouble with the solid core, I think the hollow core with connectors is the way to go.
1. Easier to work with at competition (don't need heat source)
2. Less time consuming (no waiting for cooling)
We used the solid core largely because we had some, tried and it worked. So we had no reason to try the hollow. I have no idea if one of the two variations is more robust than the other.
