Re: Polycord stretchers

I seem to remember my team making a jig, placing the two ends of the cord in the jig, melting it, then clamping the top half down. This was my freshman year back in 2012 and I wasn't working on it, so my memory is somewhat fuzzy.

As for attaching them, it was the worst part of assembly, we had to get ratchet straps and get several people to make the polycord go on and I think we did it maybe twice, because it was such a pain we tried really hard to avoid it.
