Go to Post IMO the main idea behind FIRST is for the mentors and students to work together to produce a machine that the students could never have produced on their own. - Tim Sharp [more]

Re: Wire preference - stranded or solid

Also keep in mind that there are different kinds of stranded wire. The number of strands and the insulation material can bake it hold a bend more or less easily. On our robot this year, we've got two different types of power wire. One is very stiff, and holds a bend very nicely. We use that for a vast majority of our wiring, so we can get nice, clean runs that aren't going to flop loose over time. The second type is much, much more flexible. It won't hold a bend at all. We use that for our elevator, since we require that wire to be constantly moving. Stiffer wire in this situation would be more prone to breaking over time.
