Re: [FTC]: Lift systems/Time?
With most scissor lifts, they take up 2 out of the 8 DC motors, along with a good chunk of the robot (no matter how big or how many links you have). We took the time to build everything around the scissor lift, but if you don't have a ton of time to work on your FTC robot, you might want to consider another form of lifting a crate like the posts above, we never used a telescoping lift, but it could be a fast way to get a lift system that works and ready for competition. Like I said before, it will take a lot of time and effort to build a robot to lift crates very high.
