Meeting of 8-11

Today, my mentor, Ryan, and I worked on a scissor lift concept.
Each side of the lift is powered by a high strength 2-wire motor. The motor drives a 12-tooth gear into a stationary 60-tooth gear.
Atop the lift is a tray comprised of tread. This tray will have sacks put onto it by a spatula.


After we finished building the lift, we tested to see how many sacks it could handle lifting:
(5 sacks)
(10 sacks)
`(15 sacks)
(20 sacks)

Please note that this is just a build concept, not the final design. There is still much mechanical work to be done so stay posted.
