I said COMPARED. anyways I was gonna do a very simple mechanism, like the platforms that are like a giant car jack. IDK what they are called, but they are powered with pneumatic actuators. I thought that since they extend to a known distance, I can easily have 2 levels of height. First for the 2nd level and Second for the top. Yea apparently I can not do full automation this year due to the lack of fund... We used it for the 2nd regional, I thought my mentor said we are only doing 1 and that we had enough funds for all the sensors and stuff, apparently not.

I mean great as in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu6APoC0IOA or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cORKyFr_7E
