Re: robot arm

In addition to what Qbranch asked look through the CD media section for inspiration on simple, or complex ways of doing different functions on the arm. You will see several examples of good 4-bars from this year (125, 126, 148, 1902). If you want to look at the telescoping arm this year's best examples were 173, and 233. When it comes to greater degrees of freedom just look through the gallery there were many fine examples.
