We tried having a servo/globe powered tube rotation at the end... Proved rather useless and complicated... We just went back to tubing with foam covered by nonstick. The arm appears rather heavy, but it is almost all 1/16 wall and the entire weight is under 15 lbs for the arm.
I hope we end up in the same division at nationals... that would be rather interesting.
