well... the hieght of the toss depends on the point of release... we plan on using a magnetic limit switch to make the gripper release the box at a certain point .... we will have to play with it a littlebit to get it just high enough to clear the ramp plus a tall robot....the arm has a ton of umph..with both cim motors geared down twice. If we are not careful we could send them smashing into the opposite wall... could be kinda fun if you are throwing them at your opponent drivers... haha
