Re: pic: Floating Zip Tie Chain Tensioner
The zip ties fall in the three slots on the top and bottom and they actually worked better than mcmaster's for us. The reason being is that tensioning them meant replacing a zip tie. So if you didn't have enough tension, pull the zip ties. Too much, cut them and put a new one. The zip ties never broke because they were rated at 75 lbs each. We implemented them after I saw that mcmaster's were giving us way too much trouble. These can be made by buying u channel of uhmw or by cncing out blocks of uhmw.
We replaced the mcmaster's during Nationals with our new ones.
