That sounds rather painful for Al.

Add another vote for the quick release plastic buckle. Search "48 Flips" on Youtube - yeah....we were using one of those buckle straps during that. No issues or damage at all.

Finally - please don't ever use your battery as the counterbalance of your arm. Yes, I've seen this on a FIRST robot. Yes, it was deemed legal. Why? I have no clue!
