We’re having issues with our arm lift. Our claw makes it to heavy and now our arm lift won’t go up. Is there any strengthening techniques we can use to make our arm stronger so it can support our claw?
Hi, welcome to vex forum!
From what I see in the images, that linkage connecting the motors to the lift is definitely not optimal. You could probably reduce most of the strain you’re experiencing by just having the motors directly connected (or geared) to the lift.
have you tried a different gear ratio to make it stronger but that is a very good idea for your claw hope this helps ![]()
