Re: Lifting mechanism

Draw a diagram, give us more detailed information, describe your mechanism in better detail. We want to help, but can't.

It's week 4 of build, I doubt many teams are going to try and copy your arm design. I bet many teams already have comparable designs. I can sort-of understand wanting to keep your design a secret, but, at bag day would you like to have a secret non-working mechanism, or a known and working mechanism?

Alternatively, use the JVN design calculator, the pull-down edition is best, to analyze your arm. You can find it with google.
