Re: Snake Arm Robots

Richard, i feel like a "snake arm" is not practical for FRC robots.

1) it doesn't look all that robust to me
2) it looks pretty heavy
3) It is sooooooo slow. This company (OC robotics unless my brain is jumbling things again) builds these things professsionally, and it takes a full minute to look at the underside of a car. Between the way these things are controlled and the way that the motors are mechanically set up, its not that beneficial overall as far as i can see.
