Re: Team 95 Hard At Work - 2015

The main arm is ostensibly together and operating.











It runs really smoothly and quietly. The air cylinders do a great job counter-balancing the arm. It needs no motor input to hold position without an RC, with the RC it needs a slight input to hold position, but nothing that two CIMs aren't up to the task of doing. So far it seems that the base is quite stable with the arm moving, like math said it would be. Tonight we'll be driving around with the arm out, that should be interesting. Hopefully some video will get uploaded soon!
