Does anyone else NOT use a long arm to place a tetra on top of the Goal?

I know what "finished" means, and I know what "robot" means, but what is this "finished robot" of which you speak? - Rick TYler [more]

though we do have a very large arm, technically it is simply a lift. All of the three arms are connected via a chain linkage and reduction off of a single van-door motor. This causes the third arm/end effector to stay level with the ground at all times; perfectly and constantly in line with the front of the robot.
