Re: Polycord Slippage

Here is sample of ours from a past robot.

The rectangles with the diagonals are cut out to create gaps for the cords to move through. This particular one was designed to keep two bunches of cords together, not space individual cords. The final version that was use was significantly less material but this was the first iteration.

Circles are rivets to attach this to the bottom (or top) of piece spanning the run.

We usually make the comb out of hdpe or nylon.
