We are planning to use a 24" throw, 2" bore pneumatic cylinder to hoist our beast. As of Saturday we have achieved lift-off. Pretty exciting to us rookies!

I can't convince my team to do it even though I have a very clever way to make it work.

Any ideas on how you'll do it would be nice.

edit: I will be willing to share my idea considering that you aren't attending LSR (Lone star) and aren't currently qualified for national or when my team decides to not use if for sure. This method may seem controversial when used but is legal and will probably not be used by any other team, unless I can convince mine.
