If you look at my avatar, we built one during my high school team's rookie year (1999, team 311). Took us 4-5 weeks and 2-3x the allotted weight to get it working properly. I tend to steer students away from the scissor lift, though I don't like to outright eliminate it as a possibility.
The 1999 application was before pneumatics and I think using pneumatics would make it to develop the scissor lift, but I still don't think it's worth the weight, size and complexity when other options are available.

One note; team 311 went to the rubber match as the alliance captain in the finals on Einstein in 2002 with casters.
