Inspite of the extension being desired to be 6-7 meteres, I don't need it to be stiff at all. I just want it to reach a specific area. The robot competition - I am participating in - has a special playground.

Acer,
Are the rules published on the web so we can see them? It might help if we could get a complete picture. Several years ago, our competition had a requirement that allowed many teams to use Andy's suggestion above. There was great fun and anticipation waiting for the "magic tongue" to deploy at the end of a match.
