Re: Interesting/Cool Scaling Mechanism Designs

How does 4060 ensure that as the balloon thing collapses when lifting up, that it stays within the 15" extension zone?

It doesn't look like it sticks too far out in the video but also seems like it could potentially end farther out.

I'm sure they thought this through so I'm just curious as to how they're solving that issue. I would think some strong attached to the middle with a spring or something could guide it to collapse back into the robot.
