Re: pic: FR263 Arm Teaser

Yup 263's always made everything with hand held jig saws, I'd know as that is the team I started my FIRST career on, as a high schooler. We even made wheels a few years by hand out of 1/8" plate, exciting stuff.

Back on topic, I'm curious what your methodology is for picking tubes up off the ground. Do you stick your gripper and long wrist joint way out in front of your robot? Or will you be raising the arm and pivoting your wrist joint down?
