Thanks for the input guys... the arm looks nice but we are having some problems with applying the needed torque to get it all the way around... initially i geared both the cim together... that wasnt enough... then the van door alone... that wasnt enough either..getting frustrated....looks like we are just going to lift it with pneumatics ... cant go all the way over... but at least it will move...... any suggestions??

P.S..... 1024 is a rookie team but i was on team 234 as a senior and worked with them the last few years.... so we are not a "true rookie" as to not miss-lead anyone...
