Re: pic: 2809 K-Botics - The Arbalest with arm deployed
Are you guys deploying the arm with the actuator? I'm not sure if you're open to suggestions, but to save some air, instead of having the arm powered to open with pneumatics, try just opening it with a gas spring that is latched down using a servo with a little lock. This saved us the hassle of adding pneumatics and using more air. Then again, it may not even be a problem for you guys. Just a suggestion.
Looks really great though, I especially love the auger in the front by the kicker.
