Behold the mighty wire tie!

Our kicker release was hanging up and the team was looking for new materials, nylon, Teflon, tool steel, transparent aluminum, etc to make it grip, yet give.

Then one of our mentors, Rizzo (who you all know from his years as a ref) come up with "The Mighty Wire Tie" fix.

Who knew that one of the most critical part of the robot would be a pair of half cent wire ties?
(Yes, you can bet that it will have a prominent place on our BOM)
((And yes, it continues our tradition of having a VEX component as an important part of our robot

))
