Thanks for including me in the creds even though I can't manage to count ;) I had an amazing your and really enjoyed working with you (especially at states when all I did was tell you what time it was) and wish the best for you in the future!
Most of the parts were from the Servo Erector Set so that the arm could be customized to the rules. If I remember correctly, the Robotic Arm Combo Kits at the time did not have enough reach, so I decided to build my arm "from scratch" (hence the sketchy wooden base and weight).
Thanks! The joints of the smaller arm are potentiometers which send a resistance readings to an Arduino, which then translates those readings to PWM servo outputs for controlling the larger arm. Wire management was kind of a mess. = P
congrats! would have never thought something like this could get first but you did it! do you have an estimated cost of the whole robot? it's interesting to see the build quality difference between this and a lot of the nice looking low placing arms
I like how Troy has a much more technologically sophisticated design and looks way more professional and high quality yet this wins first due to perfect execution and practice
From proud parent of your partner. Thanks for letting Scott be a part of the journey and for letting him be more than a draft.
You're very welcome! Thank you for letting us use your work space to do most of the wiring.

Aww thanks! Best wishes to you too!
I keep coming back to watch this. mfw you pulled up the template with an eraser and bungee cord.
(Nestor's design is still cooler tho :P )
What model of lynxmotion did you use to construct the basis of the robot arm?

Thx so much man.
NASA should hire you to pilot the docking arm on the ISS!
How did you set up your smaller arm and connect everything together on it? Amazing arm btw :D

Thanks! Would estimate the cost to be around $500. It's an ugly looking arm for sure. = )

That was the plan ; )
