Our team has decided on an elevator/ lift mechanism to pick up tubes from the feeder slot. We want to have something like a an aluminum L- shaped hook that rides up and down an upright Aluminum Drawer rail near the front of our robot.
We have also decided that in order to reach the middle and high pegs, we will need to have the hook ride up the full 58-60", and then have that Aluminum Drawer ride up another aluminum drawer in order to extend another 58-60".
We want to use two pulleys with two separate motors (One for the elevator/ hook for the first 60" and the other pulley for the middle aluminum drawer rail for the other 60")
I need some help on implementing this idea...what kind of parts would I need? How exactly can I make the elevator/ hook ride up the middle aluminum drawer rail, etc. Any advice will be HEAVILY appreciated! Thank you all very much!
This picture is something along the lines of what we want to do...but without the "pneumatic wrist"
