Team 836's arm in this picture is set at just over 14 Ft. However we can adjust it to extend over 17 Ft but for capping the small goals we didn't need it that high.

Could you post some pics of a close up of your arm? Im assuming you use a pulley but i would love to see the track for the arm. Also ive noticed their are two real differences in arms. A bunch of robots had arms mounted high up on a frame but others had them low down. Other then reducing top weight is their a reason for having them low? (sorry don't mean to side track the thread its just that we are reviewing designs on our team)

I think 111 is the tallest....since it's like 20 feet high.
*could a 111er tell us the real height?*

You would have to ask Ricky Q. for pictures though, I can't seem to find any at full extension.

Re: pic: 1625 full extension
our arm is ran off of a pulley system they are all on the inside "protected" from harm and mounted on custom pillow blocks. the drum for the cable has 2 sides one for extension and one for retraction but the drum is surrounded by washers " counterweight" i know it sounds crazy adding weight but we were around 119.8 we have one nippon desco motor turning the drum.
and at saint louis almost nobody knew how our arm extended nobody really asked that i can remember

Re: pic: 1625 full extension
Ive been thinking of an extending arm sort of like that. Could you maybe draw a picture of what you explained above to better visulize it?
Thank you very much

Re: pic: 1625 full extension
Our arm telescoped as well, but it had nowhere near that extension. Ours was good for a little over fourteen feet beginning VCU. Then, due to moisture expansion and other factors it couldn't even lift a tetra onto a goal at nats. If you use a telescoper, don't use HDPE sliders in it. They killed us with massive amounts of bind.

i don't know how to enter pictures in posts but i will put on in the picture gallery some time
and there is only around 8lbs of counter balance thats the part we fine tuned for maximum weight

If your picture is already online, you can either paste the URL into the thread as a link, or use the [img] tags and insert it as a picture. If you want more info on how to use the VB tags, see the VB Code page. The link to this page is also at the bottom of every thread as well, where it says "VB Code is On".
