Re: pic: Team 3735 frame

Thanks for all the concerns. At first we did plan to run the winch to both sides of the arm but for time and complexities sake we decided to just do the back. We will be using a hard stop eventually but we haven't gotten the arm built exactly to standard. (In the picture it's just a piece of aluminum tubing) Of course we are concerned with it flipping over/ falling over so right now we have the winching system geared to pull the arm up and down in about 3 to 4 seconds. While that is a little on the slow side compared to other teams are I believe it's best to start out slow and then we can speed it up easily later if it's safe.
