If you're considering a spring like I did on my 2D diagram it will work, but I can't imagine it working with only the string. Or perhaps I'm not following you. Are you considering the string for a double actuated joint? In that case it will work.
Haha, you said you didn't have time to test this stuff, but now you will do it! you're excited, aren't you? I am.
