Excellent. I need to see this arm in person. It looks very smooth. I want to poke around in there and see how it is all actuated.

Our arm pushes down on the top of the spider foot while pulling back. We'll be careful when it comes to game play. Check out this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2o2etWefu...elated&search= for a different view.

Thank you for your comment, you really got us thinking.

Re: Team 1515 presents Mad Max

Looks kewl.

You may want to keep this rule in mind though:
<R03> Protrusions from the ROBOT must not pose hazards to team members or event staff. If, in the judgment of the inspectors or referees, a device on the ROBOT poses a hazard (particularly puncture or impalement hazards), the team will be required to remedy the situation before the ROBOT will be allowed to play. If the ROBOT includes protrusions that form the “leading edge” of the ROBOT as it drives, and are less than one square inch in
surface area
, it will invite detailed inspection. For example, forklifts, lifting arms, grapplers. etc. may be carefully inspected for these hazards.

We haven't popped any tubes so far and the arm passed inspection at our local scrimmage event.

We drive with the arm in the upright position for a better center of gravity. Thank you for pointing out this rule, we do not want to impale anyone or damage any robots.

The bent barstock is less than 1". Just in case, we're going to prepare bigger pieces for our first regional. Thank you again for finding the rule.

0.005" lexan film is actually great for this application, and is available from McMaster for a very reasonable price (less than $4)

Thank you for the advice. I'm going to have my team order it ASAP.
