 I don't think FIRST is the reason for following rules, being respectful, etc. We should do that anyway. - Dan Zollman [more] |

Re: ScissorsLift vs. DoubleJointed Arm.
Scissor lifts are (typically) more difficult to manufacture, more complex, heavier, and often slower. Additionally, they cannot articulate as accurately, or create any horizontal displacement or manipulation.

Re: ScissorsLift vs. DoubleJointed Arm.
It's a lot harder to build a good scissors lift than an arm. I assume the OP was talking about a device to lift tubes, right? I wouldn't use a scissors lift unless I was picking up something heavy. You could build a pretty light arm for the tubes, although it's tempting to build a heavier one that could right the robot if it tips.
