great job though again
The arm goes up relatively fast. We have some difficulty with a tetra getting to the complete height. We will try to optimize that at the regional. But it has gotten high enough to cap a tall goal with 3 tetras on it..( that is the design parameter) The ceiling in that room is around 15 feet or so... It is the only room we could test it in...smile

As far as bending is concerned... the runout on the arm isn't more than about 2-3 inches at full extension... but we will rarely extend it fully either...it is designed to be used at about 2/3 extension...at that point the runout isn't more than half an inch or so...
