I saw that and was thinking of adding it but the main idea of using the pneumatic instead of a motor was not for the weight but instead because we wanted to keep it simple. We don't need any more positions and so having them will only get in the way.

Presently we're programming the arm so that it will automatically go to positions such as to place the ball in a goal or pick one up off the ground. It does 90 degrees in about .3 seconds so having it under computer control should allow us to go much faster than human controlled teams.

We might work on the multipositional thing after competition but for now we really don't need it.
