we are using a continuous timing belt loop. It should go from bottom to top in about 1.5 seconds powered by 2 550's. The lift is three stages. Thanks for the compliments. Unfortunately, we will not be attending Palmetto this year.

Edit: yeah, 2 stages

My mistake. Proof not to believe everything you read on the internet, I guess.

Do you have a mechanism to prevent gravity from dropping your lift down? Are you using some sort of anti-backdriving gearbox?

What is the clearance from the bottom of the center wheel to your Al tubing?

Very pretty. Looking forward to seeing this at Peachtree.

So this is what happens when Sean gets to help design for 2415

Looks sick. I'm disappointed that you said you won't be at Palmetto.

Sean just eats our food and catches up on the reading for his bookclub.

And the only tragedy with this robot is that our captain doesnt want to hook up LEDs to a jaguar like we did last year.

If you read this and think that throbbing LEDs would look cool on this robot, please post "yes" so our captain will be persuaded !!!!

[Garten Haeska]

yes!!!

[Andrew Y.]

actually, sean does just eat food...he sometimes comes up with good idea.

but on a serious note, the robot is very very much designed by students. the mentors on 2415 like to relax, eat food, and play soccer inside.

YESSSSSS i want throbbing LEDS

[Jamie Kalb]

Second the "yes!!!"

It looks great! My team is using a 2-stage elevator with a continuous chain loop for VEX Round-Up, and it works like magic! Hope it works for your team, too!

Is the structure attached to the front of the elevator a tube manipulator? If so, how exactly does it work? Thanks!

[BJC]

Yes!

How does your mini-bot deployment system work? Does the mini-bot just sit on top there or is it something a bit more complex?

[bobosalad]

looks heavy. looks strong. looks awesome

[BrendanB]

Can I cry now, that is just beautiful!

Pretty much the only reason I joined 2415 was for the support of my bookclub. What can I say...after all these years of actually helping design and build it feels so nice to be able to sit back in a big comfy chair and put my feet up while reading a good manly book.

Sean, the CD community might be fooled, but I am not.

There are NO book clubs at tech. Hell, we play video games in English class, and you expect me to believe a book club. You sir, cannot put the metaphorical book over my eyes.
