Re: pic: lift setup

video coming soon.

it originally had only one cim on it, but it was deff straining a bit. the 8020 stock added alot of weight and i supersized some of the forklift/mounting peices.
another team member and i had 7 different forklift prototypes before choosing the final. the flex points are right where they should be, as is the very ridgid, beefy areas.
plus, we are only 90ish pounds so we figured what the heck, an extra cim wont hurt it.

the window motor shown is so we can raise and lower the forks anytime. this is for safety during the match, and adds a third way to grasp the ball.
