Re: Polycord welding
What we do is take a drill bit a bit larger than the thickness of the polycord and drill into a piece of solid aluminum with it and then cut that piece in half at the point of the hole. We then cut the polycord to length, melt the ends, place it between the 2 pieces of aluminum and squeeze it into shape. We then let the polycord rest in the mold which is held together by a clamp and when it is done we cut away the excess.
We have used polycord of all sorts in our last 3 robots so feel free to pm me with any of your questions. I would recommend using the round 2 inch pulley polycord, we have never had any problems with it and I have even seen a team use it on their drivetrain(I do not recommend this).
