We actually broke our arm (well just the elbow halfway out) at the UTC robot scrimmage. But it broke in the opposite direction than we expected, the mechanical stops on the upper side of the arm popped off, we broke 9 welds, our arms were able to flop backwards. This was not what we expected, but we fixed it and we are much much stronger now.

: All I can say 177, is that looks like a LOT of torque on your arm... has your team had any problems with it? It looks very impressive
