[FTC]: Highest Lift So Far

[jasonbrooks]

Just curious, how high is the highest lift you have seen so far? And do you have pictures of it?

This was taken at the Delaware Championship (the Diamond state Tournament. I don't have a picture, but there was another that the refs had to get a stepladder out to measure.

P.S. The ref in this picture is 6'4".

Thanks Moe, our scissor lift goes about 9ish feet and the top of the first crate is at the 170 point level. I saw a picture on facebook of a robot that lifted 12 feet with a fork lift.

That linked photo is from the Milwaukee Championship a couple weekends ago. The robot pictured is the Kinetic Polar Bears. We were told the lift is capable of 18 feet--and wouldn't doubt it.

We saw the widest variety, most consistent, and highest lifts in Milwaukee so far. Given the right draw or finalist partner I wouldn't be surprised if the Kinetic Polar Bears help establish the next high score.

Hat tip to the Kinetic Polar Bears for the best engineered lift we've seen all season. To look at their robot on the ramp you'd never know what lies in store.
