Re: Robot Pit Lift

yes, the dimmer is a good suggestion otherwise u will have no control whatsoever.

This year we have looked extensively into pneumatics, they can be very stable if you make them, specially when you have no storage limitations. You can even have multi-positioning( having the lift stop any where you want). cylinders with 1 1/2" bore should be sufficient enough. There will be very little shaking if any.

The scisor lift can be either motor or pneumatics powered. A motor will give you much more control, and various positions very easily. If you do decide a scissor lift i would suggest motors. However,the scissor lift has its dowsides too, but if you are only looking for a 4' extension it should be sufficient.
