Do not limit yourselves on ideas or ambition...be realistic about the design build time. If you keep to a schedule - you can be a little ambitious. The mechanics of 9ft+ reach will be a big challenge, and the 6" step also difficult. Look at systems that exist in the world already for ideas...ambulance guerneys, tanks, and similar devices. Try to get in touch with some of the veteran teams near you, maybe they have videos from 2000, 2001 that they would share with you. Good Luck!

I Absolutely agree with Mike...
