Unfortunately the arm came in over weight. With everything on the bot, it weighs 183 pounds. So we don't use the arm.
We do take it to the competitions and show it off. At the Buckeye regional we won the Leadership in Control award. On our control board we have a 1/5th scale model of the arm with a glove attached to the end. Wherever the glove goes the arm goes. Just like the mouse on your computer.
Also, because of the weight of the arm we couldn't possibly lift a robot. But it would be a site to see
