Re: Arm Designs
Well, I mean that's kinda the point. I think that some people aren't quite realizing how far they are gonna have to lean out to cap. I would not be using a pnuematic piston to actuate the arm for that very reason. I just don't feel that it would respond quick enough under that kind of load (we use pnuematics last year to actuate our arm that capped and it was not incredibly responsive). We should be using motors to actuate the arm this year. (The new Fisher Price ,otors are looking promising for this application).
It's around 2 and a half feet horizontally that you have to lean out, assuming that your right there in front of it. In reality, it's gonna be a bit more, nearly as large as a bot footprint. Yes, the motor or pnuematic piston actuating that arm would have to mighty powerful to have any kind of dexterity when stacking.
