Re: Telescoping Arm
Team 108 SigmaC@ts made a telescoping arm like that back in 1997? I wasn't on the team at that point, but I did see the robot and the telescoping arm. It was 3 stage telescoping with cylinders. It was a basic pulley system. There were slots on the aluminum tubing which was made for the cable. The telescoping arm also used a turn spring to bring it back down. Unfortunately I dont have any drawings or pictures of that arm with me right now.
