Foreground picture is the century one, background one is the mcmaster. Heading over to FIRST Q&A now to ask if they're only going to source the spring from McMaster. Aw man, just missed being the cheesy poof question: https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/255

Have you tested the "initial load" "Minimum Load" of these, or the spring constants? Those would shed some light on the different behavior.
