2015:Lifter Subteam
General Summary:
Uses Chain to lift car along rail.
Grippers are fixed on car and slide up and down rail.
2013 Design is being used as a reference point for design.
Weight Limit set at integration: 36 Pounds. Current Estimate: 30 Pounds (Integration Weight sheet)
Stabilizing Mechanism must be mounted near the top of the Lifter
Required Specifications:
Gripper Must move to a max height of slightly over 5 feet and as low as 10 inches from the ground (NOT FRAME)
Less than 36 pounds
Able to lift at minimum 41.9 pounds and a maximum of 57.5 Pounds
Keep CG as low as possible
Have a stable mounting position for the second gripper/stabilizer
Guide Rails up too 78 inches (6' 6")
Fast as Possible. (1 level per 2 seconds with load/ 1 Meter/Second)?
Is the Best part on the Robot.
