Re: pic: Team 399 Chassis and Arm

Looks great! I really like those chain tensioners on the arm.

If you have some weight to spare, you may be able to add a gas shock that supports the arm and aids the shoulder joint motor in holding its position. The geometry looks like it might work if linked between the arm motor's cross bar mount and somewhere within the first 12-18" of the orange part.
