Luckily it would be possible for us to stretch them further rather easily (moving two plates and a few new holes), but it's not the type of operation I'd want to undertake unless it is really needed.

Sorry for the mini-hijack. It is quite an impressive bot, which quite an impressive color scheme.
I understand completely.

We just underwent a mini redesign of our roller system to counter the tension force we see from our polycord belting. The cords time to time, do jump out of their slots, thats why bumping up a % or 2 may help us out.
