Team 842,The Forbes Arm, Mach-1
 
Here is an arm that Steve Forbes, a former NERD 1726 helped us to develop. He works for Intel now and is in town so help mentors here now.

Its designs like this that make me see why some people were disappointed to see the 60" rule leave.

Beautiful!

I highly approve of this, I'm a fan of more linkage use past 4 bars, more fun to watch.

The elegance is overwhelming

I can imagine how effortlessly this will go from the floor to the scoring pegs.

I am a fan

Very nice design. Can't wait to see that in action at a competition.

Great to see it coming together guys! Hopefully we can get power to it (and a driving base underneath) this weekend and the coming week.

Another fun point to mention about this arm mechanism is that the gripper will fit in the starting dimensions, so no hinge mechanism or "unfolding" will be needed at the beginning of the match. I was pleasantly surprised to see it all work out that way. Certainly a fun concept! Though I think Falcon Arm might be a better name. :)

You are too modest! Your contribution has been invaluable, I wish you were here every day!

Hopefully the banebots come soon!

Any chance we can get a picture or description for those of us stuck behind corporate firewalls?
