I was thinking of either using a Scissor Lift or a Rack and Pinion. Theoretically they'd be controlled by a motor that was previously activated by something hitting a limit switch.saathvik02 wrote:How are you guys planning on raising the platform?

Re: End Task
I'm not an expert, but I would think that a scissor jack or a hydraulic jack would work. Such a hydraulic jack might use gravity + an electrically controlled pump. Thoughts?saathvik02 wrote:How are you guys planning on raising the platform?

Re: End Task
question about the lifting of the platform, does it have to lift the full 20cm before leaving the outside of the device dimensions, or can it rise some of that above the actual device? im assuming the first one, but i just want to check to be sure

Re: End Task
I had the same concerns. I'd say an FAQ is necessary here.C8H10N4O2! wrote:question about the lifting of the platform, does it have to lift the full 20cm before leaving the outside of the device dimensions, or can it rise some of that above the actual device? im assuming the first one, but i just want to check to be sure
