I think if you want to avoid ruining pieces, you need to be more careful than just not using third party components, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umN2iHsw3UY

This channel is amazing! At some point, yt recommended it and that was the only time it recommended something truly unique. The channel not only does hoisting tests but also rev-tests, which are interesting as well.

That channel is partially why I made the comment. Using LEGO to do things that obviously strain the pieces beyond what's intended is not advisable. Really fun though!

That was a great video. Just run everything in parallel. And make sure you get decent string.
