Re: pneumatic cylinders and motors with wires

If I'm seeing this correctly, it appears this is a ball collector hanging outside the front frame perimeter (when deployed).

In addition to the high risk of your wires being caught and ripped off the machine, I'd venture to say your actual gear motor assembly might not last through more than a couple matches before getting destroyed in a side-impact collision with an aggressive defender.

I'd strongly suggest some additional protection for your mechanism and the attached wiring.
