This year’s FRC challenge, “Rebound RumbleSM”, pitted teams against one another to shoot as many basketballs as possible into various hoops located on the field. igus’ Energy Chain cable carriers are ideal for preventing cables from snagging on competitors’ robots, while its plastic bushings, spherical bearings, and linear guides can be used anywhere on the machines to facilitate motion.
