Re: Articulating tubes on roller claws
The lightest simplest design is to use 2 motors in this case. Adding a linkage or switching system adds complexity and failure points. This is a case of bad engineering practice. Remember just because you can make something doesn't mean you should. Complex mechanisms like that have been the downfall of more FRC robots than anything else over the years.
