1251 had a lift system this year we used 1/16in thick steel cable and UHMW plastic pulleys with an 1/8th in grove to life our elevator up. The motors were the small and big banebot if my memory serves me corretly and don't quote me on this rs 440 and 550 combined in a custom gearbox. The material for the actual elevator was 2*1 1/8in wall box alumnium. 254/968 has a spool thats really cool its like spring tensioned. I'm sure Cory, Sanddrag or Travis can tell you more about it and where to get them. Some other notes about elevators don't put all the pneumatic lines thru igus on one side if you have more then 4 lines it doesn't work well and run as much line as you can inside then out of the elevator to keep everything out of the way. This will save you alot of dispair and grief during the competiton season.
