Outside of the details already mentioned, the robot also had a 4 or 5 position CAM system for positioning the stinger. They had put the CAMs on the stinger shaft and then put limit switches under them so they could tell the position of the stinger. I can't remember the reasoning as to why they didn't use a pot for the sensing, but their system worked well. The purpose of the tail was to adjust for the varying weight of the goal, which also served them so they could place the goal down onto the ramp.
