Re: telescoping arm
I was just thinking about how to extend a telescoping arm, and it just came to me!
last year teams built arms that they wanted to extend in auton mode to hit the wall quickly
but this year, the arms would be for manipulating the 2X ball, or hooking the bar
but they dont need to extend by themselves
how do you extend the telescoping antenna on a portable radio or TV?
(you PULL it out, and it stays there)
all you need to do is design a telescoping arm that locks when extended
and to extend it, hook the end on the lip of the mobile goal, or on your alliace bot (or anywhere else you are allowed to grab something on the field)
and then backup your bot to pull the arm all the way out.
I dont think it could be any simplier than that! :c)
