It's just a gut feeling but I'd trust a feedback based backlash elimination mechanism more than rope based, especially in the long run and/or with a large deployed base.
- heeton 1y agoBut, why?
- amelius 1y agoLike I said gut feeling. I suppose over time there may be some play in the axles, for example. Something feedback could compensate for but a rope could not. Anyway good engineering requires extensive testing over many hours of movements.

He ended up testing the rope he used for around 358 hours (two weeks) on continuous use in the drive itself with very low backlash https://www.aaedmusa.com/projects/capstandrive https://www.aaedmusa.com/projects/capstandrive https://youtube.com/watch?v=MwIBTbumd1Q&t=10m https://youtube.com/watch?v=MwIBTbumd1Q&t=10m
