lol, no (er... maybe!).

I had some diagram papers lying around from when I made a four bar lifter last year - and Chris (robotic_ants Chris) was looking for a solution to calculate what torque hed need for his lifter - so I thought Id make a page so I dont have to repeat what Ive said over msn to people over and over again

lol! I thought that when I realised that you hadnt posted here when I was sticking the link up :blush:

Oh well I guess now you can reveal all?

I second what Grant said. Very good and understandable.

Nice to see that sort of information being posted on the forum.

I agree with that, its very clear and understandable even for foreigners like me.

Are four bar lifters better than simple single bar flippers when using a pneumatic ram?

I would think so as they dont only push upwards they push forwards at the same time ensuring that you roll your opponent, although with some of the flippers about these days it doesnt matter too much!
