5. Springing into Action

When designing our robot, we were in situations that we needed energy stored.  However rubber bands do not have the capability to store energy in the fashion that we sought.  We discussed and believed a spring would solve many of our problems.  However VEX does not provide such a spring. I designed this coiled spring so that it can be attached to VEX part using screws.  This spring can have many applications, including but not limited to lifting, shooting, suspension, and robot expansion.
