Our teams worries

No pics, just sharing some facts like how many times we predicted we'll get disabled during a match.

We have a SINGLE scissor lift going up to knock the ball off and its flimsy. (Wasn't my idea...) If we hit the ball on the wrong spot, then the ball comes back down and pins our scissor lift. And if we do get it down and our arms are deployed, then were screwed becuase it will land on our arms (2 pieces of 1 inch wide steel tubing on each arm) and incompletely destroy them.

My prediction is that we get disabled about 4 or 5 times. Whats yours?

EDIT: I'll post some pics later.

EDIT AGAIN:

Some pics:
The robot without the side paneling with the arms deployed.


The scissor lift


Deployed lift


Prototyping of the arms. This is a working model and our final design.
