They have a small mill and a team member has his own lathe. What would the CD community suggest as a method for building a lift that would have been competitive in the 2011 game? Basically I do not think they have the machining ability to build 254/1114esque lift, however it would be nice to have a solution in my back pocket in case their early designs seek out something like this.

Thank you for your time.
How small a mill? We made a full 60" tall "254 style" elevator on a 14" travel knee mill.

It was actually pretty easy on the fabrication side.
