Re: Rookie team--arm/manipulator design
The first rule of manipulator design is "don't bite off more than you can chew." You'll have a much more exciting, enjoyable, inspiring season if you keep things simple and build a robust, reliable machine. Reliability is always more important than potential.
This presentation -- http://d1pytrrjwm20z9.cloudfront.net...atorDesign.pdf -- is a good place to start. It's a balanced look at different options and the mathematical considerations of each.
