Re: Arm Designs

The general consensus among the team leaders is that less is more... Less joints with more strength will give us a bit of an edge over some weak arms that can move everywhere in sight, but barely lift the Tetra. And let me tell you, we just finished constructing one of those things tonight, 9 pounds doesn't sound that heavy until you try picking on of these things up. Then thinking about moving it 8-9 feet away from the base of the robot... You get the idea. If you can, try building one of those Tetras as soon as you can.
