Re: Manipulator(Arm) Help
 

Yes and no, the problem is that it is too long for our body and to short to reach the top rack but we have decide to add a third joint like your elbow to fold in the arm in the beginging so it is not too big. THX for all the help! Also, Should we use pnematics or motrs for our torgue? Also, How much torgue (spelling error?) can the motors and other stuff in the K.O.P can handle???

Re: Manipulator(Arm) Help
 

I would strongly suggest using motors, if you can. Pneumatics can be easier to implement in some arm designs, but motors are easier to control accurately. It is also a lot harder to run out of electricity for motors than it is to run out of air. You can find specs on the various motors and pneumatic components in the FIRST Guidelines, Tips, and Good Practices document and the FIRST Pneumatics Manual, both available here.
