Our general design that year was very similar... except we used continuous. We also used steel cable, but we had no issues with it the entire season. You can see ours in action here from 1:00-1:15. It was powered with a single FP motor, and if we had really known what we were doing, we probably would have put a bit more power behind it and ran it faster.
