Our initial design for our robot was to only have the ability to pick up samples and get them into the buckets as fast as we could. At the time, we felt that this was the best way to go about the game.  Our first claw. This claw was specifically designed to only pick up samples. However, we noticed later on after scrimmages and meets, that this design was too precise and took up too much time during a match.  We had a single arm on one side of the robot. This was powered by a tork screw, which allowed the arm to hold up the weight of the robot. However, although the arm was strong enough, it was far too slow and caused the robot to lose balance.
