That looks really great.

How are you doing your lift? Winch and cable? Timing Belt? something else?
And how many stages is it?

I really like the way this looks. Hopefully I'll be seeing something similar in Palmetto.

I'll go ahead and get the inevitable questions out of the way:

How much does it weigh?
How fast is it supposed to go?

Wow, looks nice. Can it reach the top rack?

Thanks for the comments, we're excited to get moving on it. Working on finishphing up the drive base and cutting pieces for the arm.

It can reach the top rack. It uses a 3 stage telescoping forklift powered by timing belt. Two speed transmission, geared for about 8 and 14 fps I think.

The cad says we'll be underweight, but I think it may be close.

we are using a continuous timing belt loop. It should go from bottom to top in about 1.5 seconds powered by 2 550's. The lift is three stages. Thanks for the compliments. Unfortunately, we will not be attending Palmetto this year.

Our team designed an EXACT replica of this but we decided to go with an arm instead of a forklift.

My mistake. Proof not to believe everything you read on the internet, I guess.

Do you have a mechanism to prevent gravity from dropping your lift down? Are you using some sort of anti-backdriving gearbox?

What is the clearance from the bottom of the center wheel to your Al tubing?

Very pretty. Looking forward to seeing this at Peachtree.

So this is what happens when Sean gets to help design for 2415 :rolleyes:

Looks sick. I'm disappointed that you said you won't be at Palmetto. :(

Sean just eats our food and catches up on the reading for his bookclub.

And the only tragedy with this robot is that our captain doesnt want to hook up LEDs to a jaguar like we did last year.

If you read this and think that throbbing LEDs would look cool on this robot, please post "yes" so our captain will be persuaded :) !!!!
