Re: [FTC]: Lift systems/Time?

I completely agree with you, our lift took a very long time to make, we spent a lot of time on off practices to get it right because one practice a week is nothing close to enough. Not only do you need to build a lift, you need to flip a crate, put a ball in it, lift it, have something that holds it, then lift. Its a long process to get everything working together but I think it can be done if you spend enough time on it. I think most high lifting teams will want a partner that can flip crates, put balls in them and then bring them to the team with the lift, but that's just what I think will happen.
