Re: pic: Double Lift at LSR

Thanks,

A few facts about the robot:

--It had a ratchet on it to keep the forks up
--to release the ratchet we had a L-bracket that we stuck into the forks to release them
--The frame was anodized green but everthing else was spraypainted
--the yellow wheels were black when we started (we had painted them black but the paint wore off withing minutes)
--We used a dewalt transmission
--The robot no longer operates on the frequency "624". we changed it so that we could use all of our robots at the same time during practice.
--The robot had feet that shot out of one side when that sides forks lifted. this was so we could raise only one side if we wanted to.
--originally we wanted to be able to move with a robot lifted (so we could rescue disabled robots) but we ran out of time and weight to do so.

In my opinion this robot was our second best so far. It was only beaten by our tetra bot in 2005.

We all enjoyed building it, and it was fun to see it work.

If you wan't to know anything else let me know.
