The one on the left was not bent at all.
The one on the right, however, is. That happened when 1718 suspended. I suspect is was because their mechanism was a bit too tall, but it could have just been a moment-exertion issue.
I will note that while it bent, it did not break. Even after 1718 was removed, 27 suspended successfully without any further bending.
Would it have worked repeatedly? I am inclined to say yes, but really I'm not sure. As I said, there was another suspension without further bending. That specific bend may have been a "freak" incident or just a result of 1718's mechanism.
I do believe it would have worked multiple times in usage with 27, 33, and most other "strongman" vertically hanging robots. It was never tested with "driving up" 'bots such as 2056.
