When we did our 8020 lift in 2011, we found it to be a very simple, machine-less system. I can't speak on behalf of all 8020 distributors, but ours was happy to visit our site and work with us on our design and what parts we'd need to create it. We had to do minimal (read: a couple dozen holes drilled) machining on the system.
8020 also extended a FIRST team discount to us.
Our 2011 robot was far and away the simplest and most effective robot we've produced in our eight seasons.
