Re: Telescoping Arm
This might help you out a little bit.

When we prototyped this arm we first made a model with cylindrical PVC and a string. The power you are going to need depends on the weight, what you are lifting and the friction that there is going to be. I can also agree that the servo is not enough unless we are talkin about a small tyoe of VEX robot. No matter how much friction there is your motor has to at the least be able to lift the waight of the stages and whatever it will carry.
More informayion would be helful.
