After the huge fail at GSL lift em up is coming back with a new name an modified design!
This time built with a steel chassis and HDPE bolted on to it, my design (below) has a huge lifter mainly desgned for raming, lifting and protection built from Hardox.

Stay tuned for more!
Started on the sides today made from steel angle with the HDPE bolted on, this will need to be welded up but my welder is in germany atm so its a bit out of reach!

I also hope the name isn't taken?
Are you intending to try entering this into the champs? If so you need to get rid of all the right angles on the uprights and slope your side and rear armour to help reduce the catch points for spinners.
There is little you can do about the the ground clearance for flippers with a design like that. Also watch out with the weight of your Hardox blade. If its that whole front element I can see that easily weighing 4kg, possibly more.
Not that i have any experiance of this, but just from looking at the design i can see lots of angles it could get stuck at, and as Eventorizon said, lots of corners for spinners to catch on. Only trying to help.
Yeah, I see what you are saying, might have to tweak the design.
Whats the drive? Looks nice and quick :)
Is it pneumatic or lin ac? Really like this.
Thanks
Just Argos drills on 100mm wheels with 3s but I'm getting a 4s
And it's pneumatic
Looks cool! Nice to see a pneumatic bot a little different from the norm (says the person with two), is it low pressure or full pressure?
EDIT: I assume low from seeing ram in the video?
Thanks, i plan to run the fire extinguisher method.
