Looks like your manipulator will slide in front of the bumpers...

Are you guys worried about the manipulator? Will you be keeping it elevated to avoid hitting other bots with it?

We implemented a similar design, but we're noticing some issues with rigidity. Are you guys seeing any kind of swaying when you get up high?

The manipulator *should* always be up and tilted back when outside the scoring zone. We do have some swaying at the top but smooth driving helps even that out.
