pic: 604's Arm

I do recall watching that happen out on the field. It wasn't a special hit for that regional, but it was a lot more than any robot should have to take. SVR had defense to the point where a team spun the rack about 60 degrees. It was impressive.

For that application, I personally would have gone with 2x1 rather than 1x1. The extra strength would have been invaluable.

Hope that gets fixed. If you need any help in Atlanta, let us know!

There was definitely more defense in SVR this year than in most past years. Probably due partially to us (190) being there, and partially do to a number of robots lacking working arms (or designed as purely as a ramp robot), and going on defense.

Yes, that round where the rack spun around was our first Quarterfinal match, and our arm got bent in second Quarterfinal match.

Quick Fix:

Buy a piece of channel with a 1" slot and 1/8" wall (they sell it at Allen Steel and other suppliers in the Bay Area).

Unbend your arm and press-fit the channel onto it. You won't even need any bolts. It will be so tight it won't ever come off.

That should get you into the first practice matches
