They released an advanced Bill of Materials before Kickoff that specified a 3/4" PVC pipe nipple - this was meant to be your "spacer" - we used a hose clamp for the time being!

Back to the question at hand - we built the kit bot the first week and played with the hall effect counters, new software and default code, camera. We're right with most people on designing, and fabricating an arm. Sounds like we'll be seeing a lot of similar robots this year!
