Re: 816 - 90% Complete (Video inside)

Yeah a great robot will be able to place one complete logo alone on the top row, and still have time to be positioned for mini-bot deployment.

Also have you guys put your arm through some serious testing?
I noticed that you raise your arm outside of your safe zone, could you arm and bot take a really hard side hit in that zone?
I also see a lot of swaying back and forth when you are moving in that zone. A robot that only plays defense may torque that arm way out of line, perhaps making the arm a little stronger, or bringing a good supply of spares may be an option (so long as they are light).

And one more point, when you were driving and making some sharp turns your claw seemed to also sway side to side, making a nice "cradle" where your arm could rest in could easilly solve this problem.

We have played with the arm lengths and wrist lengths so that we can raise and lower the arm with ease while completly in the safe zone, to make sure we stay functional.

Just a thought, but looks pretty good so far.
