How many points was that? That "arm" system was really impressive!

[@melchiorvester]

I believe it was 51 points. The arm is a rotating telescoping tube with a wrist at the end. This allowed us to pick up and place hatch and cargo anywhere on the field while being able to pick up from both sides of our robot and extend over top of others

@@melchiorvester Cool! Thanks for the quick and informative response!

@@melchiorvester How does your telescoping tube extend and retract? I keep seeing videos of extending telescoping tubes and I'm confused on how they do it aside from pully systems

[@melchiorvester]

@@Fishofrank It is exactly like a pulley system but there are two sets of systems working on extending and retracting each stage simultaneously. This was not a cascading telescope. The red lines were contentious loops of chain and middle of links were mounted to the bottom of each stage. imgur.com/a/0JORCz1
