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

Our arm is gets the tetra about 8' feet high, so its not tall compared to most i've seen. Our claw is passive and tilts the tetra back, making it a lot easier to get high enough to cap the center tetra.

Our robot, has a 4'10" arm. But the way we grab our tetra gives us extra length. We can match all those high-capping bots except for wildstang

Ours is a telescoping arm that raises and lowers and then it has a finger-like projection that extends outward to put the tetras on the goals.

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

Our team has a scissor lift, that can hold up to 3 tetras on top of it. We are then able to stack tetras onto a goal, by flipping them.

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

team 294 is using a grabber with 3 talons that pull the tetra into cone sort of thing. then our arm is only 40 inches long with 2 segments that are 20 inches each. it is a lot like our arm last year but just smaller. so far its the only one i've seen like it.
