Re: Ideas on how to do something...

yeah! one of those. sorry, I've been thinking all day and cant remember some of those little details...

alright, I'll try again..

The robot is going to be X Big, with a forklift that rises and falls, powered by a worm gear. Said forklift is going to have to turn up to hold the track ball without it falling out of the space we will set for it. And the only thing I can come up with is hooking it up to a motor, and then hooking that motor to a wheel with the center filed out into a groove, which will hold a cable, or a belt to create tension to raise it past ninety degrees, and release it back to the default point of ninety degrees. This will tilt up to Hold the Trackball, and also to aim it over the overpass.

hope that was more clear. n.n
