Re: Need Specific Help Regarding Mathematics and Motor Choice of Arm

In addition to what others have said, make sure you:
1) have the arm load and length set correctly. 22 lbs sounds like a pretty heavy arm and your picture indicated 2.5 feet, but your spreadsheet picture has 3 feet.
2) where is this located in the robot? make sure you're still meeting rule G18 about extending past the frame perimeter.
