Re: Extending above 60"

We can get up high. Our most recent blog post has pictures of our robot and practice/prototype robot fully extended.

We had the idea of blocking full court shooters pretty early on. The horns at the top of the lift get to 83.75".

The robot is as stable as the robot I worked on in 2011 for Logomotion. It would tip if we accelerated full throttle (6 CIMS) at full height but not if a we were just pushed in the bumper zone. We also have bumpers plus 20 more pounds of weight to add to the frame.
