The Beach'Bots popularized the arm style without meaning to.

EDIT: Of course EricH beat me to it

[Bochek]

Got a video of the arm in action today (its still on the bench)

try to figure out whats going on with the 2 wires running down the arm. Use the picture above as a clue.

Sorry the video is sideways.

You guys should probably wear safety glasses (and not on your forehead) when you are working on the robot. Clean design though...Hope it works out for you..

you never know

we are very good about wearing safety glasses when working, (eg, machining, cutting, drilling) but we are more relaxed about it when just bolting stuff together and/or trying stuff out.
