Just want to point out a flaw in robots designed like this. That long arm acts like a giant moment arm. Couple that with a robot that is usually top-heavy (most robots I've seen with a design like this are). These two things spell trouble if you encounter a robot that gets up to the ramp real quick and is high enough to "interact" with your arm. Those of you interested, check out the Midwest Regional's first quarter final match between teams 16/65 vs. 71/167. The file name is il_qf4m1 on
