Re: How to get the ball over the overpass!?

our team is having issues with this decision as well... we have a general consensus though that we do not want to use an arm but rather a claw/fork lift hybrid because of the balls immense weight and size

the problem with using an arm also is the cantilever effect that is generated by extending the arm so far away from the bot (at best you'd have the arm one foot horizontally and 6ft vertically from the base of your bot and that adds up to be some intense weight pulling you into the bars)
