The Raptor will still maintain a high level of power capable of lifting 500 lbs. and 200 lbs. at full extension. Upgrade to include the following: A. Exchange the 7 function Force Feedback Predat or Slave Arm for a 7 function Force Feedback Raptor Slave Arm.

Exchange the standard Force Feedback Master Controller and Hand Terminal for an Operator Control Unit with Force Feedback Mini-Master. The Mini-Master Control unit allows for left-handed or right-handed operation to comfortably control complex manipulations in an intuitive manner. C.
