Wow! You are only a second year team? I love the "zoom in" effect with the team working on the electronics.

You have a nice small footprint with the intake arms withdrawn. Are you using the polycarb hooks on your RC grabbers to catch the lip of the RC rather than the handles or the hole in the top? What did you use for the carriage mechanism for your lift? They look custom.

Thanks!

Yes we are using the hooks to grab the lip of the RCs, we tried the key hole, but this worked better for us.

The elevator carriage is custom. Uses big uhmw sliders on the inside of the rails instead of bearings. Uses bearings front and back of the rails. Nice a smooth so far
