does this sound logical? and do any other teams have ideas for lifting their bots up on the tower?

You are going to need a lot of power to lift even 70 pounds up there. The process will be slow, you may have a hard time doing that within 20 seconds.

Personally, I have none at the moment. I have gone from pneumatics, to scissor lifts. I'm still considering the best way.
