To help address the manipulator lack of quality I have witnessed this year, I will be publishing a manipulator white paper titled, "The Mighty Four Bar: FIRST Robotics Applications". This paper will go through the different types of 4 bars and how the 4 bar is the greatest manipulator type that can be used in FIRST. Its lightweight and SIMPLE design make it really easy for arm operators to control and makes it easy to fix. It can also be combined with other mechanisms like linear slides, turrets, and other 4 bars to enhance capablility.
