Thanks!
Seemed like an elevator was the quickest way up, and wanted to shoot at the goals from a higher point to improve accuracy by reducing distance and to minimize blocked shots. These points preclude a simple way of getting under the pyramid with a fixed elevator.

This bot weighs 93lbs! the base plate is like 2011, just a flat plate. Most of the parts are Nylon Stereolithography. Very awesome stuff to work with.
