Re: telescoping arm
In 99' Team 384, used an elevator to achieve the play. It was our first year, and I wasn't on the team because I was in 8th grade, but it used a pully system to achieve a 7 foot gain I believe. You could use the same system of pullies to get the height. But I would worry if you were to use the pullies to lift the bot as well, the cable could snap with that much weight on it... I'm not sure. I'm beginning to think that the bar is somewhat like stacking of last year, really great if you can do it, and it helps, but you can easily win with out it...
If you are using the device for grabbing the multiplier balls, don't go up and down, stay in a fixed location with an arm that moves from a stationary elevated point. It makes it so there is less to break.
