Re: Scissort Lift vs. Crane vs. 4-Bar Lift vs. Gas Springs

After a week of brainstorming and prototyping..we're thinking hard about a chained lift. The only time we've ever done a scissor jack lift was the '99, Cyber Blue's rookie year. We did a chained lift in 2005 for lifting the tetras and we think it will work quite well for this year. I think the biggest thing this season will be how you grip the ball really. I mean it really doesn't matter how you get it up there as long as it works and its fast. I think the real matter is once you get it up there, can you place or throw the ball? Will the gripper/holder make it too top heavy?
