Re: How to do a Forklift type robot.

Our "forklift hybrid" will run off of pneumatics, with a compressor onboard. I was weary of the air running out too, but we all came to the consensus that pneumatics would drastically simplify the design. Plus the "other part" of our manipulator uses up a good amount of motors that would drive the forklift. With the compressor, and constant replacement of batteries, we should be fine, hopefully.
