Our arm is gets the tetra about 8' feet high, so its not tall compared to most i've seen. Our claw is passive and tilts the tetra back, making it a lot easier to get high enough to cap the center tetra.

Our robot, has a 4'10" arm. But the way we grab our tetra gives us extra length. We can match all those high-capping bots except for wildstang :p

Ours is a telescoping arm that raises and lowers and then it has a finger-like projection that extends outward to put the tetras on the goals.

Here is Team's 176 bot just before shipping.

we use a aluminum ladder that is cut and nestes to form sort of a forklift.

Our team has a scissor lift, that can hold up to 3 tetras on top of it. We are then able to stack tetras onto a goal, by flipping them.

We (1648, Grady Gearbox Gangstaz) are using a flipper which loads three at once. WE got second today and won the rookie all star. We're going to Nationals!

our robot is also a scissor lift with a short arm. the scissors sit on top of a platform. you might have seen us at the peachtree reagional. to see a pic, check out the team's website and click on "our robot."

team 294 is using a grabber with 3 talons that pull the tetra into cone sort of thing. then our arm is only 40 inches long with 2 segments that are 20 inches each. it is a lot like our arm last year but just smaller. so far its the only one i've seen like it.
