Team 997 Lifter

[pakratt1991]

This is our lifter.
It starts out in a folded up position and plays defense throughout the match.
near the end of the round it returns to the home zone and deploys two, (approximately) 4 foot tall "wing" which are raised using 4, 11 inch stroke/1.5 inch bore pneumatic pistons. The platforms are made out of a honeycombed cardboard center with either plexy glass or carbon fiber material on the top and bottom. They are strong and weigh between 4-5 pounds each. It can lift both platforms individually without tipping the robot. It sits on a track system with 4 cim motor and the Andy Mark 2-speed drive trains, although we did remove the higher speed to take off weight, and in high speed it was to fast to control.

It was designed to do one thing, and one thing well.
