Disclaimer - I didn't acquire the spring but I have been assured by a source I trust that it was absolutely the exact spring.
From what I tried, only the 5 spoke holes fit over the hook on the end of the spring. When I put one of those openings over the spring and left the gear at the very end - the spring really did not appear to bend. It may have ever so slightly bent but for all intents and purposes it was zero.
How it behaves after 70 matches of robots slamming gears onto it may be a different story.
