Re: Arm Designs
It's not so much height that is the concern, it's that the robot has to bend that arm over a greater horizontal distance than before with a heavier weight on the end. Again, height isn't the problem, tipping is, and not from jerking the robot too much. I think some teams will be using the edges of the goals as rests, to help aleviate the problem of tipping, or at least approach the goal from that angle as a safeguard in case they do in fact tip over. (that way they rest up against the goal with a lot less damage done to their bot and the possibility to right themselves)
