Re: stairs

In 2001 we built a 14ft. teloscoping arm on our machine so that we could put a big ball on a goal while it was balanced on the bridge. But that was our only mechanism besides the drive system because we designed it so that it could also manipulate the goals. So I wouldn't advise devoting so much weight to such a long arm if all that you are going to do with it is hang.
