Re: ScissorsLift vs. DoubleJointed Arm.

It's a lot harder to build a good scissors lift than an arm. I assume the OP was talking about a device to lift tubes, right? I wouldn't use a scissors lift unless I was picking up something heavy. You could build a pretty light arm for the tubes, although it's tempting to build a heavier one that could right the robot if it tips.
