Go to Post To think that the seminal work on the FRC experience is about the least favorite game of all time, being played by a team that no longer exists, is either the height of insanity or a master stroke of inspiration. - GeeTwo [more]

Does anyone else NOT use a long arm to place a tetra on top of the Goal?

I'm just curious: All the pictures I'm seeing are of a long arm which is used to place the tetra directly on top of the goal. My team's not doing that (and unfortunatly I don't have any pictures), we are sortof pushing it over the goal so that it falls into place. See you at the Duluth competition!

Team 1559 is using an arm thats only about 36 inches long. We have an elevator type lifting mechanism. It is made specifically for the autoloading station.

Cyber Blue uses a lifting mechanism and a rather short arm to put tetras ontop of the goal.

A rookie team that came to our practice, 1688, was a very impressive fast little bot with a flipping mechanism that tossed the tetra into the goal.

Team 85 has a short arm and 2 loaders that work just like a candy machine! We will see you at GLR. You can see at picture in the robot showcase.

Take care

We have a tall bot with a short arm, that helps with the complexity and the weight.
