Re: Arm swings when turning, how to brace it?

Our arm twists also, it is pretty light.

What we found out in many hours of practice driving is that it didn't matter; it twisted but didn't break. i was sure it would break, but it didn't.

What we are doing is making sure that the arm and gamepiece is in "stow" position whenever we travel. That will also somewhat protect it from entanglement with other arms.

we are not sure whether our arm can take the rough and tumble of the competition. we made plenty of spare parts!
