As much as I like hearing that number, I must make the correction that we did not make a telescoping arm of any sorts. Haven't ever built one really, tried once in 2002 and failed. In 2005 we built a double jointed (shoulder and elbow) using very thin (.040) sheet aluminum bent and riveted together so we could get a very lightweight, thin-walled, yet still strong arm.
Anyhow, carry on.
