Re: Breaking Cable

I think it all depends on how the cable is tested and rated. Like you said it might hold a certain weight still but not bouncing. In our test we stretched some nylon cable across a jig we made and but weights on it. The cable was rated at 150 lbs but broke at 60 lbs. So as i mentioned before we used some steel cable that we haven't been able to break so far. I think the motors would go before the cable. LOL
