High Stakes Robot 2 Wallstake Arm

2025

This is the wall stake arm from my second VEX V5 competition robot for the High Stakes season. It is a short armed wall stake arm that held the ring by friction fit, and it was driven by a 5.5W motor rather than a piston. I worked out the 360 degree geometry in Desmos to make it work. Having a 360 degree arm is better because you can flip mobile goals with it.
