The Polychord is not the same chord as what was on our 2012 robot (it's a much smaller diameter in fact). We merely took inspiration from our 2012 intake. I think Mammaloon is a little confused .

despite that, I didn't think that it was illegal to reuse material from another robot, especially if its dimensions/length was changed.

To bond the polychord we made a wooden jig and then used a lighter held underneath to heat the chord until it became liquidy. It took a lot of bad joins to come up with a method that actually worked (if anyone is interested I'll share the specifics)

Awesome use of servos.

Thanks! We hope to be able to use them to angle our shot consistently. (maybe even some left to right aiming if the programmer are up to it ) We currently have new servos on order since the 12 dollar no name ones we were using kept dying... We went with a hitec hs85mg.
