[FONT=Comic Sans MS]i have created a trolly crane, from vex (duh), and i can lift 22lbs so far, but i need more weights, try to see if you can beat my record by building a crane of any type wit’ vex parts, string of any type, and that is it. [/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS]good luck! [/FONT]
wow 22lb. thats alot for a robot its gonna be hard to beat.
If you make the base huge (like 4’X4’) I think you could beat that. The larger the base the more stability from tipping and the thicker and heavier the top of the crane, the less chance metal will bend/break. I think its beatable. Bobby, what was the size of the base?
wow, thats alot of weight for a small robot, what kind of gearing did you use?
here are the pics of my bot, incomplete, of course (need omni-wheels and servo extenders) the best part about this robot is that it is actually TWO ROBOTS IN ONE! look at pics in gallery for details
the base is 24"x16"
WHERE ARE THE PICS?
The “Navigation Box” in the upper left corner of Bobby’s Robots has a “scroll box” with the link Trolly Crane.
22lbs, that’s great!!! as i said to others who have made robotic arms or in your case a crane, can you do it fully autonomous though?
lol that’s a nightmare
