Re: Team 1584, robot lifters

This looks like very good work. Particularly, the use of ball bearings as rollers is pretty clever and looks really clean.

If you don't mind answering a few questions:

- What do the outriggers look like and how do they function to prevent the robot from tipping over during a lift?

- What is the expected height of the platform above the carpet when the lift is lowered?

- What are you considering for use as your platform?

- How much does it weigh?

- By what method are the lifts kept within the starting footprint and how are they deployed?
