What are the blue lifting straps made of?
Also, bonus points for having a cheer for a specific robot mechanism!
Those are normal nylon straps, the type that come with a ratchet mechanism and hooks for securing stuff in a truck or trailer. We're keeping an eye on them to see if they stretch (we pre-stretched them as much as possible)... but they're what we had available to build with. We're going to have some backup straps we can attach that won't stretch (we found them at REI), but I can't remember what those are made of.
