Go to Post Anyone know anything about a missing plastic flamingo from NASA HQ? I should mention before you answer that tampering with federal property, even if it's weird stuff from (Dave's) office, is punishable by painful delivery of ChiefDelphi negative rep points. - Rich Kressly [more]

Re: Bridge device failure fix

I had the same worry when we built this, but when you raise the arm up from how its shown in the picture it didn't even touch the bumper. Just remember its not being raised/dropped straight up, its rotating down. I'll take exact measurements of ours when I get the chance to. But this is how we figured it out.

Unrelated, motor torque/power pretty much doesn't effect this. The fact that you have 120lbs of robot pushing against the bridge on an angle is what makes this work. You just need to make sure the arm stays horizontal.
