Go to Post I've never encountered a motor as forgiving as a CIM - Stall them for 20 seconds, run them hot on a short turnaround, or call them mean names in between matches and they'll just keep doing their thing. - thefro526 [more]

Re: Mounting the arm

and the survey says..................

bubblegum

that's right, we've locked the entire team in the basement for the past 4 weeks so that they can dilligently chew up enough bubblegum to not only attach the arm but to make on the spot repairs at the competitions.

Re: Mounting the arm

Mount it 3 ways!
A) Very carefully and acurately - so you don't extend the profile.
B) Very securely - so when you extend it somehow, your robot doesn't break.
C) Very center of gravity-ish - so you don't tip as you retract and/or pivot it!!

That's all I got!
