Re: pic: Team 399's arm after the SD finals match 1.
The break was about 4" down from the pivot point. The initial end effector (pincher claw) was much lighter before weighing approximately 2lbs. Put a 6lbs roller claw out there (including the pocketing) and you can easily tell why this arm broke off. The stress by the end of the competition was too much.
I can assure you that our new arm will have much less holes by the time we go to LA. It's a painful lesson to learn, particularly in the finals, but one that we will remember.
