Re: FTC Zip ties sticking out

I've seen this issue many times with zip tie beater bar intakes for ball pickup. What i tell teams to do as as easy solution is to be able to have long zip ties but stay within the sizing limit is instead of putting them 360deg around the roller, just put them 180deg to each other (think 12 o clock and 6 o clock positions) and just make sure you have them vertical when you put the bot down on the mat before the match which would put them inside the chassis.
