Fork Lift controls

[MoistRobot]

We're using a sliding pot to set the position of the lift with a separate button that will bring it to the bottom when pressed, then return it to the set position when released. With PID on the lift motor this should allow us to take the height of the lift to any position we like and allow for a quick stacking motion.

Remember, if you are automating like this, to always always always give your drivers a non-automated manual override. Because when that sensor feedback breaks and your automated PID isn't functioning, you still want them to be able to control it.
