Elevator Design - Rack and Pinion Cascaded - 772
My First Elevator System
- Currently 28 lbs
- Fully extended in ~1 Second (possible to raise in 0.22 seconds but i geared it down)
- Run off of two 550 Series Motors into a VersaPlanetary 2 stage gearbox (1:20)
- Rack and pinion style for bottom
- Carriage is attached to a fixed Belt or chain that will move the Carriage up to the top when the middle moves up. (hard to explain, but no motors required)
- Rail design Inspired by 228's 2011 Elevator Design.
Design later found to be almost the same as 973's off season Robot in 2011 "Emperor Swerve"
Feel free to criticize, and suggest things to change.
