Go to Post So much energy is wasted complaining (even in this thread) and belittling others (subtly in this thread). You need to engineer an attitude that encourages success through hard work before you engineer the robot. - PayneTrain [more]

Re: Extension Mechanism

Umm . . I will try to explain it more guys & thx for all these replies.

Inspite of the extension being desired to be 6-7 meteres, I don't need it to be stiff at all. I just want it to reach a specific area. The robot competition - I am participating in - has a special playground. Besides, I got a specific start zone for my robots that has limited dimensions. The robot carrying this extension mechanism should have a maximum dimension of 500*1000*2000mm (2000mm is the height).

The scissors mechanism is great but for such distance I need to use large ones and I don't have the place for it as I am using my robot for other things and there are other stuff placed on it.

Can't the forklifting mechanism be modified for such purpose ? I also thought that I would use a fishing rod but I couldn't get an idea for extending them using motors or pulleys. Air was another idea to use in extending the rod but to use that I need an electromagnetic switch and other pneumatic stuff.
