Re: 4536 2015 teaser
Very interesting. I can't wait to see why you're tipping your robot!
Some advice: Back in 2013, our robot used a cylinder to tip forward just like yours. You have to be very careful about the lateral loads you're putting on the cylinder because it will start to bend over time or damage the cylinder bushing and jam. However, your cylinder looks to be hefty enough and short stroke length enough to survive.
