Re: Elevator vs. Telescope vs. Scissor
I recognized early-on that telescoping arms and elevator style lifters would have an advantage this year since the rack is vertical and requires no "reaching." I think these are the best designs.

However, we decided not to use a lifter since they require more parts then an arm and are harder to build.

We have a lot of experience with arms, and we knew how to build one.
