Re: Robot Arm Extension

I don't understand what people keep saying about diagonally in the box. The only way that is possible is if your arm is on an angle from the rest of your bot, and to what advantage would that give you. Its not like when your robot moves in said box that the box doesnt move with it. You are confined to the box no matter what way you face. So your arm can't be any further out than 72 inches unless the arm itself is diagonal from your robot, which to me seems pretty pointless.
