Last year i think our team (#269) had the best telescoping arm.... I wasnt involved with the design much but i welded for some of it.... it was a triangular tubing shape and it went out ten feet with a hook on the end.... then to pull our selves up we used a winch and the rope went to the the top of the arm on the hook.... this hear we have a control system with two pistons to turn quicker that require pneumatics so our arm extends with the pneumatics compressor also..... very heavy but works great.... a telescoping arm isnt hard to build. search for good motor ideas and just build prototypes for it and see what works best...
