Re: Scissor Lifter?

At the start of each season, I remind the team of our two absolute rules (born from very bad experiences):

1. No mecanums (yes, even this year)
2. No scissor lifts

My FTC team came to me with a design that included a scissor lift. I asked if that was the best design the could come up with. They said it was. I said you need to try harder! The have a much better design now!
