hey anton. that is 3 days WITHOUT SLEEP to work on the robot.

: hi guys, its me again asking for some advice.

: we have a fork lift mechanism with the pistons and we have been able to lift a battery easily with them (15lbs).

: today, we went to the quincy scrimmage and it was unable to lift the bridge using the counterweight on the side of the bridge.

: the quincy fellows said their bridge was an inaccurate judgement with regard to its pivot point being as smooth as the ones at the competition.

: 15lbs. we can do that, but it didnt work there. Should we ditch our pneumatics that couldnt lift it, and build something else to replace it immediately? or is 15lbs plenty plenty to lift the bridge?

: what do you think? please help.....esp the smart fellows in here.

: -anton

: ps. we have no machine shop access this entire weekend and will have to mockup something with power tools. i know i can do it....3 days.
