Re: Robot Lifting

This is such an elegant solution you should be applauded for thinking outside the box! The one problem I see is the 84in right cylindrical rule. if you make a 28" robot, and you'll have to assume your alliance partner is driving on it's 38" dimension that will determine the size of the platform on the vertical frame assembly. that accounts for 66". Since the rules state that the entire robot in it's finale configuration must fit within an 84" cylinder, I'm not sure you can manage a ramp long enough to allow for a 45 degree ramp angle to accommodate your alliance partner. You may have to do some fancy timed folding. I haven't looked at the numbers close enough so I don't know if that will indeed be an issue.

For the record, we are not using either idea. We are using the KISS method (Keep It Simple Students) and believe that we will have a lifting robot that can do the job quickly, efficiently and is simple.
