Thumbs down Re: pic: Team 319 - Big Bad Bob's Arm

How long is the actual arm, not the tower. And in what position will it start the game. Im just curious how you will be picking up ringers off the floor (or will you?) and still be able to stay within 72 x 72 during the game.

Thats one nice looking arm. How easy is it to pick up off the ground??? How easy is it to remove the spoiler??

Both are easy. The arm is on a turret, so we can pick up a tube and score without moving the robot.

Unless I am mistaken, (and if I am please inform me) The robot can be placed diagonally in the 72x72 box, giving us ample room.

That arm just looks plain sick, that's all there is to it. Actually, it's a bit intimidating...RUN!!!!

yes but assuming that robot is approximately 38 X 28 the front (or back, which ever end is where the gripper is at the start of the game) of the robot would be about 10 inches from the corner of the 72 X 72 inch box. now add about 34 inches for the distance from the front to the arm. now your down to only about 57 inches for the actual arm. im sure you have done the math it just looks like it will be close and i wasnt sure if you had thought about that rule.

Re: pic: Team 319 - Big Bad Bob's Arm

Interesting use of pneumatic cylinders. Thats going to be around 350 lbs of lifting.

Have you guys tested the lift capacity yet?

We tested the lift capacity, and we have about 700+ pounds of force. Check out the other picture of our lift system.
