^ This was our third iteration of a bridge arm and it worked okay.
V This is the design we had when we won the Mt. Olive MAR District event.

It is directly driven off a FP motor and gearbox with a coupling. The arm itself is welded tube. It is also our intake extension.
This is the bridge arm/drop down intake we will have attached to the same FP gearbox for the MAR Championship.

Worked out really well for us and I'm extremely proud of our rookie students for striving for continuous improvement.
