Re: Arm Placement on Bot?
IF you are considering either loading or placing tubes onto the goal from the side of your robot like i think you are, the main issue i see is the increase in difficulty when lining up with your target. Unless you are running an omni directional drive base (which i probably would know about if you were) you need to think of the differences in parking a car head on vs. parallel with the street. Even if you arnt loading from the side and are simply mounting your arm offset to increase space for a ramp i still see the issue of that because your arm is not in the center of your drive base you will be forced to take multiple attempts at lining up with either a spider leg or a tube.
