Re: [FTC]: Opinion on lifting robots
I think lifting will be a fun part of the game, but I don't think minimizing movement from a mechanism is the way to go about it to get to 2 feet from 18 inches.
I am having a smaller more manageable ramp, and it will lead up to a platform that is at about 8 inches tall this will create a very nice angle to drive up, something most drive trains should be able to handle without much problem. From there it will lift up with a scissor lift powered by a lead screw. That oh did I mention 6 motors will be powering this?
