Re: pic: 2791 Starting Configuration

Team 3735 is earliy similar to this but our system is a little more sturdy i think. We used 1" aluminum inside of 1.5" aluminum and instead of gravity for extension we rigged up a 1.5" bore pneumatic piston. Being able to retract the arm during the game makes driving around and placing tubes on the rack much easier.

I'm very jealous and curious of your 7 victor controlers on your electronics board. 4 are probably for the CIM motors on your drivetrain but what are the other three used for other than controling the arm?
