Um yeah we accually broke cable during testing in the 6 week build time. We were lifting our bot up to hang and at the time we didnt have any limit switches on the lift mechanism. This caused me to overdrive the arm and SNAP, Then .25 seconds later the robot was on the ground....
And yes we had 2 drill motors lifting us up... Once during a regional we were in a hurry and time was running out. There was very little space on the bar and we were lifting up our robot and all the sudden I see team 316 on the ground.
Then after the match was over we found out the score would have been a tie if they wouldnt have came off.. 130 to 80 eek
Sorry 316 we didnt mean to take you off the bar!
Not sure of the exact cable size we used but I thinks its over 1000 pound test.
3/16? In other words our lifting mechanism is stronger than last years drive train....
