Re: Poll: Turrets for Rebound Rumble

Jim -- you could use Ethernet cable for your sensor wire there. Might tidy things up a bit and be easier to manage. Big spools are much cheaper (per foot) than what you'd get at a electronics store. The school's IT department may also have some spare you can use (10' should be enough). No need for connectors, just splice the twisted pairs like any normal wire. We did that for our 2 limit switches + 1 encoder last year on our wrist joint and it worked great.
