Re: Arm Designs

I really like the forklift idea, I can see a robot driving over the flat side of the base of a goal tetra to the point where the scoring tetra is over the point of the goal tetra. Then just lower the forklift onto the top of the goal tetra. You may also be able to articulate the "tower" the the forklift is attached to to lean the tower forward, enabling the bot to be further away from the tower. This would raise the center of gravity, but I see it as a last ditch effort.. I also see the scoring tetra hanging from a hook or something like it on the bottom of the forklift. I think this would be easier to place on the goal. Thoughts? Opinions?
