Re: FRC 3357 shooter arm

It's pretty complicated. The whole shooting deck and pickup mechanism is all on 3 pivoting arms, one in the front and two in the back. When it is all the way down everything lays flat locking it in place. To lift it up from there we have a piston that hits the front of the main deck unlocking it in a sence. From there we have 2 pulling points on the front arm of the structure that 2 bungee assisted pistons pull on to lift it into place. In all we have 6 large speargun bungies and 3 pistons to raise and lower it. The pistons are pulling on a cord that goes through a 2-1 pully system on each side to get the extra distance required to pull it up, the other two bungies work to pull it back down when we release the pressure from the pistons to keep tension on the cord.
