Re: String Pot: Good, Bad or Mixed Bag?

We used one last year on Chainzilla's elevator. They're very easy to integrate, it's just important to keep them from retracting too fast, or they'll fail. We also had at least one match where the pot caught on an opponent's robot, and was damaged. All in all, though, we were satisfied with it - we're using a shorter one on this year's robot.

I'll post the part numbers when I find them. IIRC, they go for a little less than $100.
