pic: Andymark's New Product

[MikeDubreuil]

I'd like to make a suggestion for this thread and the AndyMark website...

I have been following the development of this product since the first CAD drawings were posted on CD. Now, I think I'm a fairly smart guy... college educated and a pretty good software engineer.... it took me a very long time to realize these would be used as a pair and tie wrapped together. Now I realize why everyone thought the idea was so beautiful in its simplicity.

Now for the suggestion... could you show a picture of it used on a robot? I think that would help people (maybe I'm the only one) understand how to use it and why it's so effective.

This website with a similar product has a picture that shows the concept. However for what it matters I endorse the AM product, might as well support a fellow FIRSTer!

The Snapidle Mini appears to be the same kind of tensioner sold by McMaster-Carr (5973K1 or 5973K2, depending on the chain size). Those sell for about $30 each.
