Tell us what you think.....

First things first, resizing images is usually a good idea. The only reason I was able to see it and get an idea of what it looked like is because of the magic of Firefox's Image Zoom extension, and not everyone has that capability.

That said, the arm looks interesting. Definitely not at all like ours. I'd ask questions about how well it works, but I think we'll be seeing you in competition. I can judge for myself there. ;)

Though I must agree, it should be resized down.

Hmm.. Interesting arm, how does it move exactly?

Hmm.. Interesting arm, how does it move exactly?

To put it simply, we have a mast that teloscopes up. On that mast is a box that holds out arm. We have a pully system that moves that box up and down. Also, in that box are some motors mounted, which alows the horizontal beam to move back and form, and spin. Once our video is up, you can see it in action. Or, you can see us in action at Great Lakes, West Michigan, and Nationals.
