Could you explain your arm/winch? I see rope, chain, and gears, and I'm not sure what they do, but it does look very cool.

That looks very nice. I see a camera onboard. Were you able to track the vision tetra using it during autonomous?

I just realized i forgot to rotate the picture before i posted it! 
Anyway as i said the arm utilizes a geared cable system (more recommended than rope 
)
bought from http://sdp-si.com. This worked remarkably well. We used a window motor to lift and lower our arm and another one in the back to rotate the pulley. Overall this system was amazingly light (except for the giant U piece of aluminum which wasn't really needed). We could track with the camera just didn't have the time to write a program interfacing it with the motors but we are working on one now!
