If you use a motor, when you raise it you want to hold it up... so motor runs into a stop, then what.... turn the motor off, does it fall, stall the motor into a hard stop, does the motor burn up... we have been a successful low resource team, we use a lot of pneumatics. We have more resources now.
Thank you for the encouragement. I am looking in to learning "air".
