This is entirely sane and not sketchy at all. I admire the use of zip ties as connection reinforcement.

Slightly on-topic: I have found that black zip ties tend to shatter less frequently than white ones. Anyone else experience this, or am I just imagining things again?

That being said, I agree with Joe ^ in that the nylon is being used effectively.

I completely agree, but I think it might be as simple as the fact that the bad zip ties we get in the KOP are white, and other zip ties are other colors (like black). Unless you're talking about a pack of black and white zip ties where the white ones are inferior...

I'd say that's a good bet for things stored outdoors. Black zip-ties are often UV-resistant.

That's right, for most zip ties, white ones are designed for indoor use only and black ones are UV resistant designed for indoor and outdoor use. Because of this, black zip ties usually stand the test of time much better.

I've found that this isn't always true, we've used black zip ties that were so brittle that we didn't have to cut them, they snapped when you bent them ~90 degrees. They weren't used for any critical applications.

Did someone say drill surgery?

[Richard Wallace]

Just a guess: will Winnovation be mounting CIM motors by press-fit, into holes made by that drill?

Not being used on 1625's robot, 3928's on the other hand....
