I am really confused on how to build an arm for our intake. Can someone please post some pics/videos of simple arm designs that push and pull the intake system in order to put down and carry cubes?

Oh. This makes much more sense. go to 0:49 on the first video and you will see a fairly clear image of the tilter. Edit: turns out 0:49 on both vids works.

Our robot wont do exactly that. We will only have the intake go back and forth. Not up and down to reach the towers.

Go back and forth for what purpose?

Are you talking about the tilter that moves the cubes from a diagonal position to a stacking position?

To allow the intake the put the cubes in the goal zone

Ok the tilter in the video is the same design most robots use. It still tends to work on simple tray bots.

Ok. Can you post a clearer pic of it

49 seconds in the video it shows how the tilter looks and works
