Re: Articulated arm vs Forklift style arm

The forklift style is a better choice in my opinion. Yes it isn't has fancy or complex but it doesn't matter. You simply lifting tubes up to a certain height. It would also be able to repair something on a forklift style arm. It is also very easy to design and to create. Now of course we are considering creating a system (suction or rollers) to keep the objects in place so you may want to consider that as well.
