awesome! better than the original and .2 How many tetra's high can it stack?

heres an idea for version .4
-6 Wheel Drive
-217 or 229 esque paint job (optional)

Nice Ary.. but what it really needs is a parallel bar underneath the powered arm that is already there that would connect to a triangular piece where the "finger" would be mounted with it's motor. You would have one hella sweet 229/217 model then.
Enough criticism :p . It looks hot. I can't wait to see what else you come out with.

Nice job, it just keeps getting better - you should put up a video of it going or a pic of v1 vs. v2 vs. v3 so we can see the progression.

I would like to thank Ben Lauer for hosting the video of V.3 stacking.

As requested earlier...

V.1 - 4wd with an arm that just stacks, drivers do have hard time to get out of the goal while stacking a tetra. Very Simple.

V.2 - 4wd with an arm that stacks. V.2 has a wedge which helps V.2 to push the tetra around or even make it straight in order to pick it up. Drivers still have problem to get out of the goal after done stacking. Added a limit switch, and two bumper switches for autonomous code.

V.3 - 4wd with Thunderchicken’s finger/Division by Zero’s killer arm. New Modified arm. V.3 stacks tetras more efficient than before.

Mission accomplished. Time to work on another project. Stay tuned… :)

4-Bar Linkage is key.
