Re: pic: Our robot hanging.
I'm curious: what is the seat motor on the arm being used to power?
How do you turn the arm? Pneumatics or a motor, and which? Do you hang with wires and a winch, or do you flex your arm to hand?
Our team found that it needed to gear (with pulleys) a mechanical advantage of 3:1 for the Fisher-Price motor to winch up the robot successfully.
