 FIRST is the best thing that has ever happened to me...FIRST has taught me so much more than anything I learned in the classroom. The thing with my team, is we are so close, we are family, and I have figured out so much about who I am because of FIRST. - princessnatalie [more] |

Re: pic: 604's Arm
I would expect that arm to bend there....it is very weak. Even though it started out as 1" square tubing, it isn't square tubing now, because of the slots cut in it, presumably for weight reduction. And it probably should have been 1.5" or 2" tubing in the first place. A small increase in tubing size gives a big increase in strength.
A quick fix could be made by straightening the arm, then riveting two pieces of 1" angle over it, one on either side.
