Re: Arms

Just as a rule of thumb... motors, because of the small compressor, tend to be faster at actuating manipulators n such, just because of the low cfm of the thompson compressor. We had a pneumatic actuator on our tetra bot... and it did slow us down some.

This year... motor drives on the elevator.... bottom to top (top row score) about 1.5 seconds give or take
