For my team, 319, the fork lift has actually been our nemesis. We have never done well in years where we utilized an extension mechanism. We do arms, and we do arms well. Oh and by the way, we're actually team 6 (we were a test team one year) I realize that a lot of teams dont do arms very well either, hence why I suggested having neither. We are among the oldest teams in first, but we find forklifts difficult to build.

Oh and by the way, our coach specifically wants an alliance partner who is a fetcher. As a good fetcher you will actually look very attractive to many teams come time to pick alliances.

Why can't a single jointed arm cap the top?
