one question- how heavy is that arm of yours? does it affect your center of gravity at all? You've already scared me immensely, this is one robot I never want to face.. congratulations on building another incredible machine
Thanks, Daisy,

The arm is about 40 lbs to itself, so it does affect cg. However, it is strong enough to right the robot when tipped. Oddly enough, the robot likes to be driven with the arm up, in kind of a cocked position. The arm is mostly made of tubular aluminum, so it is pretty lightweight.
