Can Someone Explain the Multi Arms?

[GooseOnTheLoose]

I can't figure out how to get the multi arm components (i.e. the grabbers with more than one... grabber thing) to work in any meaningful/useful way. Is there some way of manipulating the individual arms that I am missing? I assumed that if you told them to pick up, then ALL the arms would pick up. But it doesn't seem to work that way. Or at all.

The arms all perform the same commands at the same time. Do you have an example of this not working? Are you using multiple grab instructions before a drop instruction? Arms can only grab once before a drop can reset them.

I already made a feature request that we be able to issue individual instructions to the individual grabbers on the multi arms ... that would be kool.

the 3-arm parts are a good way of executing commands that need to happen every other turn

it's mostly so you dont have to rotate back to your starting point as far as i have seen in ch1. the return function can eat up a lot of cycles, if you care about that.

Try ungrabbing before you try to pick up a second marble, because after the grab command all arms get locked in wether they have grabbed something or not. Thats why a second grab command doesnt seem to do anything when you try to grab something

I'm a bit late but yeah, I was also having trouble loading them in one by one on the 6 arm grabbers, but found out that they all perform the same command at the same time, so if one arm already has one, it can only drop, it can't continue to pick up atoms as it rotates
