Re: Elevator Design Questions
Take a look at the 1100 entry in the 2007 FIRST design book. It is entirely devoted to highly robust elevators.
The implementation uses chain and 80/20 but could be easily adapted. The best part is that it is highly deterministic in its positioning and is modular in its assembly.
I have personally used its construction to lift 2 robots off the ground simultaneously and played with in 4 different FRC games and never had it fail. It is not the lightest weighing design but it is quite robust and a great option if your team is looking to begin working with linear motion.
