Re: Forklift
Out team used a forklift idea last year. We used a threaded rod to move our claw up and down (similar to the way a vice works). We built the frame for the lift from Bosch extruded aluminum. The same type of aluminum given in this year's KOP.
For sliders, we used Bosch sliders that were able to bolt onto the aluminum. They worked well.
Problems
We had a lot of problems with our design. When raised, our robot was very top heavy and fell over a lot. It also got jammed when raised.
Hope this helps
