Sorry for the confusion. I thought that titling it "639's
2004..." and putting it in the 2004 Robots picture gallery would be enough
The pictures were posted in order to give away some ideas to teams that considered using scissor mechanisms to stack tetras and for teams that wanted to slide parts by using the slots in the extrusion (see Lift picture 2). If you want more details, you can always PM me.

How is stability of the scissor lift?

Driving around with it is scary... I did it last year under 3ft/s and it was OK but getting pushed while doing that would be disastrous. We built it to shoot up from the robot to the 10ft chinup bar in 1.5sec so that the timeframe for the aforementioned occurring would be minimal. However, that may be a whole new issue this year for teams who want this type of system.

Looks like a heavy bot, with that extrusion frame, scissor lift, AND treads.

Well, if you consider 130lbs heavy, then I dunno what to say. It completed the objectives which we set for ourselves (climbing/hanging & herding) while being not easily dentable
