First robot build - Trident (FW) Need help plz

[Doodle2411]

Thanks for the suggestions guys,
Sorry I haven't been active recently, it's just been a hectic month for me so far.
So we originally liked the idea of having a springed flipper robot as it would be unique, because it is so unique however, the reason not many people use it is because it is complicated, so we kind of like the idea of lifters. I'll try to see if I can dig up some videos from the Internet. As our spring idea is out of the picture for the moment, we will try and Base our lifting mechanism around Richie as it is the only FW I know to use it (sorry if you feel like we are stealing your design, it is only for the mechanism, not the entire robot.)

As we have previously discussed, the robot will be a FW,
other future robots will be announced when they are being built, until then, our main focus is Trident.

I can understand why John would be annoyed at robots flipping matilda's, but since OLL-E is the new house robot, we feel like that would be a good target to entertain.

Remember to post what kind of interchangeable weapons you would like to see in competitions

Thanks for the support
Many thanks

My feather also uses a similar mechanism, it uses a linear actuator directly linked to the lifting arm to power it, so it can lift a lot but isn't the fastest of things. If you want them I can get a few pictures of how it's attached inside the bot.
