The back lift mechanism is for doing a three tote autonomous...The front lift mechanism is for driving and manipulating totes in any orientation...Not planning on lifting a 6 tote stack...Three at most which we know will slow us down, but we are hoping to make up for that by contributing a 3 tote autonomous. We are hoping to be part of a team...not the whole shebang...

As for the COG...We can also tilt both lift mechanism back over the center of the robot which will hopefully help out a bit...We are using the Dart actuators for that which we know is overkill, but...

As for weight, we still aren't sure...We made some changes after CAD and are doing some other things to lighten the load...IE replacing bolts with rivets and 8020 with square tube... We will post more later next week when we have a better idea as to what the whole thing will weighs.

Honestly we are sort of really hoping with fingers crossed that this works out like we hope it will...
