Re: Looking for slip rings and distributors
We used the Mercotac slip rings all season without issue, including long practice sessions with CIM motors getting extremely hot. We first saw them on Bombsquad's 2013 bot. I saw them on Bombsquad's 2014 bot at the St Louis offseason event, and I saw them on Pwnage's bot at the Rockford offseason event.
We included a mercury cleanup kit in our safety kit. But I see practically no risk of it being released, even in the event of severe mechanical damage.
I was under the impression that mercury was not disallowed by the FRC rules. FTC rules however have specifically disallowed mercury for a number of years (in the same rule as lead is disallowed).
