I second this. As a part of the build team of 103 during 2011 (25 and us build twin bots that year with a few modifications for each of us), I highly suggest staying away from this many stages. The less stages the better. Although this lift did work very well, we had some significant problems with the belt stretching (Because it was so long), as well as some other problems.
Another thing to take not of in this design: The top lift (middle section in the picture of 25's bot) Had the grabber attached to the bottom of it, so the robot height was significantly taller than it needed to be when fully extended.
Other than that this lift worked extremely well for us, and we even made it to the finals on curie with that bot!
