forklift system trouble!
Team 3329 has decided to use a forklift system to pick up game pieces. the system will be on an incline and the grippers (more like spreaders) we want to be able to articulate like an elbow to pick up pieces on the floor. the trouble comes with how to get the actual lift to lift. What materials do we use as rails? do we use pneumatics or motors with belts or chains? i've searched all over and am having no luck finding anything...
