Re: Hanging vs. Manipulating 2x balls

The mechanism that extends the arm, if powerful enough, whe reversed can lift the robot (1 motor, two functions) Once you latch the bar, you only have to lift a little to hang. I don't think a lot of teams will try to win by
messing with robots trying to hang. You want to score points, not try to prevent your opponents from scoring points.

A simple way to do this is a chain drive elevator using the door motor.
