Re: Arm Designs

Yeah, for anything short of a verticle lift you're going to have some massive torques on the arm. The tetras are heavier than the big ball last year and heavier than the boxes from stack attack. You also need to reach rather far into the goal which can add two to three feet of extra torque on any type of arm, verticle(forklift), extending or swinging. Getting the tetras on top of the center goal is proving to be much trickier than at first glance.
