I guess great minds think alike, eh?
Now for a bit of 'spying': How's that telescoping arm actuated? It is really really really fast!

Great job!
I guess that means that your team has an "arm robot" also. What Regionals will you be going to? Any pictures?

Our arm is actuated by centrifugal force. It will contact a bin in 2 seconds.

Sorry if anyone had trouble looking at our web site yesterday. The Pacific Bell server was being a problem suddenly. We have moved the web site. It should be fine now.
