This is a great looking robot and they did very well at the PNW Champs, including a well deserved Industrial Design award. I had a look at their robot in the pits and asked about the constant force springs. The student I was talking to said they prototyped several different options to determine how much force was required, and then ordered the constant force springs "because they were free".
