Just keep in mind the 84" cylinder rule. Your current (probably longer than final) looks like it goes way beyond that.

I do like the extra joint in the arm though gives your robot a lot more flexibility in picking up and scoring. If my team had more time i think we would probably explore that option.

What is the gripping material on the edges of the claw? My team was considering using the surgical tubing cut in half but i'm not sure how effective that is going to be.
