I don’t see any of those lifting to heights of, let’s say, 12 feet. Neither this thread nor the one I posted in earlier exclude heights like that. Being trained professionally as a scientist, I find it very disconcerting to see a whole group of comparable height examples used to show a method is the…

What do you need a 12 foot lift for?

From some game analysis, one can reasonably conclude that one only needs to be able to stack 13 cones high on each mobile goal to be guaranteed victory (if you have questions about how I got that figure, please PM me). Keeping that in mind, we can calculate the lift size that we need to achieve this…

[image] evangs1: What do you need a 12 foot lift for? Drop balls through basketball hoops, reach to the 2nd floor from the lobby of a school building, etc. There could be reasons to lift this high. The OP says a DR4B is the fastest lift to do it based on lots of much shorter lifts. I’m not su…

@callen , I think the OP was referring specifically to competition lifts. In the real world scissor lifts are very useful for reaching high up places, but in the real world they also have access to hydraulic actuators, so… Even though what the OP seems to be speaking generally, I think he/she means …

OK. I would agree with this for competition heights. I would also note, though, that where a lot of the prior discussion came up the OP also didn’t restrict the list to competition lifts.

[image] Yerayrobotics: Please go on. :smiley: So far, we know for now that RD4B are fast and efficient but not so space friendly and you’re only lifting on single cone that doesn’t even weigh more than .3 lbs. Maybe there’s has to be another way to lift such a small load at a high altitude… So m…
