Re: Portable basketball hoops

You could make an elevator type lift with a detachable base/locking casters. Could be a cool exercise for your mechanical team. Could probably just manually raise/lower it and use something simple to lock it into place. OR you could create one that elevates up and also uses a linkage arm like many 2011 robots had. Of course this would probably require a lightweight backboard. http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6645095-0-large.jpg
