Re: When things start to come together
Nice! Wild guess: does it take about 8 seconds to lift?

How did you guys get that to weight only 85 pounds?!
I see aluminum on board?!
Everything was made to be as light weight as possible. Since we used epoxy instead of bolts we save weight there. We started making our ball picker upper today and fabbed up some more stuff and we are at like 91lbs now. Our electrical stuff is all mounted on polly carb boards.

The frame is like 37 by 27 and the lift will go like 8ft high if not more. We wont use it all during comp. though

Very smooth lift. Looks like things are coming along really nicely for you.

Re: When things start to come together
The lift with that motor will take six seconds to reach max height
also we are predicting about 10 pounds of spare weight to play with when all components are added

Re: When things start to come together
Have you tried lifting with the ball in it? it drasticly effects the way it behaves.

Re: When things start to come together
we dont have our ball carrier done or mounted yet, all we have there is our herder, and our ball knocker offer/hurdler. But as of right now we can't carry the ball, give use by the end of like friday we should. Once it's up I will be posting.

Re: When things start to come together
Also to save weight those aren't 8020 rails they're made by a different company
They are called 2020 bosch, a little more expensive but they save a lot of weight

we havn't tested it with the ball yet, because we dont have our ball lifter done yet. Close, but not there yet.
