Wheelie bar triggers for V5

#1

We are a team of four 8 grade girls and we are already qualifyed for state but are still trying to make improvements. We already have a wheelie bar set up and we are at the 18 inch limit. we do have a six bar left and collectors. But does anyone have some better ways to trigger the wheelie bar to come out besides rubber bands against the wall?

What kin of robot are you using? If you have a claw bot, rubber band the wheelie bar to the lift. If you have a tray bot, connect to where the tray deploys.

I assume the wheelie bar is in the back?
I would rubber band it to the parts with the red circles and it should pop off when you lift the arms. robot
