Its already gone, RoboArm II is being worked on. I didnt get video of this
one but I certainly will of the next.
Things I'm changing for the second, I'd really like to remove all of the
pnuematics, I'm not a big fan of it yet, and I think I could do better using
another means. There was a little wobble with the base of the arm so I plan
on redoing all of that and I also want to work on removeing some of the bend
the arm has.
I wanted to find a better means of controlling the thing, it has a lot of
motors so even a Control Center couldn't handle it. Anyone have any ideas?
