can that arm rotate 270 degrees? i mean can you place on both sides?

Yes it places on both sides!
This gives the drivers even more options!

How does the arm+claw store before the match?

1511, the robot looks awesome! I really like the alignment device for deployment.

I'd imagine it would have had to be something big, like 1/4"+ to have that much of a rock. We've used 3/16" and it rocked a bit, but not enough that it ever bothered me - now we're using 1/8" and it doesn't really rock at all, it just more or less puts most of the weight of the bot on 4 wheels instead of 6.

It's folded up with the arm inside the robot, and the manipulator is just velcroed to the arm XD

So in autonomous (usually) everything flops out for the ubertube

330 degrees

We can place front side, or rear side. Kinda rocks - just needs some serious coordination!
