Hey guys, I love how clean your bot is, but I feel that you'll find out extremely early at your first regional that speed is an absolute necessity. I'd suggest spending the rest of build season looking for ways to speed up the vertical motion of your scissor. Maybe alleviate some of the weight with surgical tubing so that you're controlling the position with the jack screw rather than supporting it's full weight.
