we call it the flailer or the CBDM (controlled box displacement mechanism) it is just tall enough to go over the plexi walls by a few inches. it can reach the stack of 3, 4, 5, 5, 5 giving us 17 boxes (we can't hit the bottom row.) there are two pneumatics that lift the arm and it takes about half a second to raise up to that position. after that it takes about another half second to open all the way. then about a second and a half to go 100 degrees. (we are working on making the first part of the turn and the opening one motion) total time should be no more than three seconds. it's a beast. we just hope it doesn't get the crap kicked out of it.
