Thanks....
(I'm sure you have it on your BOM)  |
Alas I do not know, it was something that another coach brought in from his job site, and we haven't put our BOM together yet. I will update once I find out though!

The gun was probably my favorite tool this year |
Zip-tie guns save so many cuts and scratches (and time) when working on a robot it's not a luxury but a necessity!
Reusable zip ties are awesome during the development phase, where wires are being added and removed.
