This year we tried to develop as much functionality into one main component as we could. So we ended up developing this arm. It helps us go over the categories A and C defenses, allows us to climb and score in the low bar, all weighing in at less than 25 lbs. So our practice robots arm can be our with oldie allowed e to use as a spare part. The whole arm cam be swapped in about 5 minutes if needed. Perfect for timeouts during elims.
