Re: pic: 1825 arm

Re: pic: 1825 arm

Because of the placement of the arm on a fixed hinge point on the top back of the robot, extending it fully with the wrist straight out doesn't put our total length above the limit. It stays within the operating parameters at all but the tallest height.

Actually, were it not for the fact that we were strapped for time when the camera was mounted and couldn't find a good, stationary mounting position quickly, we would still fit into the 5' weight class...

Re: pic: 1825 arm

The arm alone is 5 feet long. Then we have a 2 foot claw on the end. Mount all that 4.5 feet off of the ground and you get 11.5 feet and a dead ceiling fan. Go hypotenuses!!!

Oopsie...The claw on the end is more like 1.5 feet, so that puts us at about 11 feet. Bleh, I'll just measure the thing whenever I get around to it.
