There's only one 12" long x 2" bore outrigger piston (we figured that if we were going to lift 1 robot, we would tell them to get on that side). Therefore, the arm can go around it when it deploys in autonomous mode.

Are you worried about teams pulling out the pneumatic hosing running to the outer cylinders or hitting and damaging the cylinders themselves?

Wow!

Look's awesome, you guys!

I can't wait to see this at BAE and maybe at the Balloon Rally this year! ;D

It's amazing what a handful of students and a few mentors can do.

wow.... Thats really some nice engineering.. I really like the way you've put thought into the machining of near every single individual piece of aluminum. Hope to see you at the championship games!

how much flex do you get in your wings when there is 148 lbs on them?

How are you guys going to get the other robots onto the wings?
