fishing line

Could VEX possibly add high(30-40lb) test fishing line as a usable item for VRC in the future.? It is cheap, doesn’t stretch much, and can be very useful.

No, because you just asked for it. Therefore it cant happen

My first thought would be safety. I wouldn’t trust some of our freshman with it…

Generically speaking, I’d like to see Vex allow for the use of thin cables and small pulleys and low-friction tubing so students might be able to experiment with different types of actuators, such as “underactuated” grippers, etc.

Frankly, I don’t see why Vex doesn’t allow for more things like this: from an economic standpoint, it’s just more stuff for them to sell and more things from which to make a profit.
