Re: Team 842,The Forbes Arm, Mach-1

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.
