If your arm design is THAT fragile... maybe you should rethink using it in this game. If you still go with that design... beef it up!
Accidents will happen, thats racing.

when i ran the phyics simulation for it, i set it up so that neither part could break (the arm or the bot) and with only half the speed that i am expecting people to achieve this year, the bot flipped over....
alos i dont want people to think that i am still pushing for the arm, that is not the best option, at least for my team i feel. i am fairly knowledgable in the area of pneumatics and have proved that we can put a ball down the field (and over the overpass) in less than half the time it would take for someone to place it over...
