Do you have any recommendations for cheap light cable or wire. My first thought is red 16 or 14 gauge wire. But being I'm no mechanical expert I'm not sure if that's optimal.
In my opinion, the hardest part of the competition is not that actual manufacture of the robot, but the design process. It is the enginners that go through the design process all the time that will have the edge in this competition, not the best machinist. - Wetzel [more]
