[PSUBS-MAILIST] Manipulator arm

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Scott,
I have played around with buoyant arm ideas and experimented a bit.  The first problem is lack of space for the foam.  You get very little benefit. The next option is to make hollow members and cap them.  You get more bang for your buck that way.  The last option that would help is buoyant members, like plastic.  Anyways, you likely don't even need to worry about it with your K350 because the arms are front mounted and you can just rearrange your weight.

 I am
 working on the manipulator arm for Trustworthy. I can
 compensate the CG by removing weights in the front, but
 unsure if it will be enough. Does anyone ever compensate the
 weight of a manipulator arm by putting foam in the
 arm?Thanks,Scott Waters
