Re: Scissor lift?

My team has a running joke with scissor lifts.
"Everyone tries a scissor lift once, nobody tries it again."

This is one of the more common rookie design errors in games like this. Scissor lifts look promising, but are just no good in FRC for reasons unapparent at first glance.

Just the other day:

New Mentor: Couldn't we just use a scissor lift?
Other Mentors and Older Students: *Laugh*
Older Mentor: "Everyone tries a scissor lift once, nobody tries it again. We are NOT doing a scissor lift."

Basically, don't use a scissor lift.
