Also, this is totally off topic but a thought just came to me about this thing I saw today. It was an industrial scissorlift that drives around for like painting and changing high lightbulbs and stuff and the way it worked was pretty cool. It had a single long hydrallic cylinder going diagonal from one side of the base to the opposite side of the platform atop the scissors. I'm sure we could do the same for a robot with the optional 24" cylinders we were allowed to order. I would draw a picture but I think it's easy enogh to imagine.
The scissors lift is an elegant concept, but the design effort is non-trivial. The people who design those things are so good at it they make it look easy, but there are many subtle failure modes to trap the unwary. Can it be done? of course, but whether you can do it within our constraints is another issue entirely. For one thing they tend to be very heavy compared to an equivalent telescoping lift.

Just a heads up
