Those torque values may be right, which they aren't, but they certainly aren't practical.

Another bot will never be on the 2ft section of your arm because then your entire arm would have to be under their robot. That's not gonna fit under most robots...

Not to mention, even if you get it under a robot, as soon as you lift, that arm is so wide it will lift their entire robot off the ground, which is a violation of the rules. You can only lift part of a robot up, and not the entire thing.





In the end: Your arm can only lift 15lbs.
