On the stabilizing bar (at least I think that's what it's called) what is that wrapped around the PVC? It looks like hand towels.. does that have anything to do with the "Beachbot" theme? Or do they hold a different purpose.

That is what we call "Cheese Cloth" It has no "Beachbot Theme" it just is very grippy cloth used to hang on to the tetra

Another reason (imo) is that the arm is so simple. Since it's a single joint, they don't have to worry about coordinating two different movements, which I would think makes it a lot easier to control.'

I personally liked having only 1 degree of motion. it was very easy to cap effectively and pick up tetras from the autoloader.
Another specialty of our arm was that it was designed to be able to pick up 130lbs!!!
This helped
Stack over an arm attempting to block a goal
Help correct being tipped (On front or back)
and easily carry around a tetra

Ok. So I didnt go to nationals and I couldn't watch the webcast. Usually a national champion has something different about their robot. What was the thing that set your robot apart from the rest? (Miss America type question lol)
