The problems I see with a forklift idea is:
*Top heavy- any structure this year is gonna be heavy in order to lift the trackball
*There is always the fear of while trying to put the ball over the overpass and an other team runs in to the back of your robot= game over for you
Our team is has thought through pros and cons of the "forklift" idea, I personally don't like the high probability that the other 5 robots on the field could run in to your robot while your extended over the overpass. Stick to the "K.I.S.S." principle. Keep It Simple Stupid
