Re: Arm Designs

After my earlier post I took some time to think and came to my senses: an arm's the way to go. If you've got a forklift then you need to be right next to a goal to score, so a robot could just get between you and the goal. But if you've got an arm you can reach over another robot if it's in your way. The hard part is going to be designing a mechanism for the end of the arm to effectively pick up and score the tetras.
