Re: Polycord on tote intake: recipe for disaster?
We have found that polycord does a pretty garbage job of gripping to the totes. If you are using polycord, one thing I've seen used with grooves in the past is to to use a "comb" on the backside of the loop where they aren't touching gamepieces to keep them in line.
