Right you are about the topic of this thread. It's just that the devices are similar so I thought I would post it. No pics of the bridge buster because its locked up at school. Although I still think the can crusher is useless, it suppoose it would still be cool to have one. Did you know that they make trashcans with a manual can crusher built into the lid?

Also, this is totally off topic but a thought just came to me about this thing I saw today. It was an industrial scissorlift that drives around for like painting and changing high lightbulbs and stuff and the way it worked was pretty cool. It had a single long hydrallic cylinder going diagonal from one side of the base to the opposite side of the platform atop the scissors. I'm sure we could do the same for a robot with the optional 24" cylinders we were allowed to order. I would draw a picture but I think it's easy enogh to imagine.
