[FTC]: NEW ROBOT DESIGNS!

Since it's been a little quiet around here lately, I wanted to get a feel for how teams are doing with their designs so far and if anyone's come up/seen something pretty neat.

We had a scissor lift on our first design because we thought that if we deployed the lift backwards and made it act as a counterweight, then our robot would flip onto its back. This means that if we hooked onto a robot in the front, they would end up on top of us. It ended up being too heavy and we dumped it.

Now, we have a simple 50pt ramp that we're attempting to expand and go higher, but we wanted to see if anyone has better thoughts or actually has gotten a "lifter" to work?

Thanks.
