Re: using gas springs? needed?
Sort of along the same lines, I have always wondered why lots of good teams do not use some sort of spring counterbalance on their arm. I can't seem to find a reason not to use springs to put your arm at "neutral buoyancy" so your drive motors have to do less work and you can lift more.
