2016:Lifter

1. The Plan

We have come to the conclusion that the best method of scaling the castle near the end of the match is using a telescoping arm to latch onto the bar and then lift with the arm.  

2.  To Do

• Figure out the measurements that are alotted to the scaler team.
• Collaborate with the drivetrain team to ensure that those measurements will work well.
• Design the telescope nesting arm.
• Finish CAD work.
• Select motors
