Re: Need a realistic Statics Problem

the Fairport team used the concept for the 1999 game, lifting the 'floppies' 8 feet in the air. We had a basket attached with four arms, like the drawing, and a geared down van door motor supplying the torque.

Lots of teams had a difficult time lifting their floppies in the air that year. Our bot (Floppy Joe) could raise and lower a full basket in about 2 seconds, all day long.
