Our arm was just a liniear slide rail bolted together to the right length with a small to large gear doing the lifting (on a motor of course pretty simple but effective)

As Jeff and Noah said, it's very nice to see familiar faces. Excited to hear how the Regional turns out, good luck.

Re: New Zealand VEX
Fitting in the sizing box is good I really did like MAG's sizing box though seeing as it was made out of wood it made it nice and square and accurate.

Re: New Zealand VEX
Yeah, I think our last measurement was around 17.8''. We are somewhat horrible in trying to fit in the size restrictions, every other competition they would let us off with 1/2 an inch extra, but I dont think it will happen this time
