Re: forklift system trouble!

We are designing a 2 stage telescoping lift for our 2011 robot. The sliding interface will just be box tube with teflon tape. It will be driven by a closed belt loop in serpentine fashion and powered by a single FP. Ideal calculations show that it can reach 12 ft/s, so we are shooting for closer to 10 ft/s.

Re: forklift system trouble!

I just want to add my voice to the "if you want movement in any direction, it needs to be powered in that direction" chorus.
