2D: Cascade Elevator

Summary

You've completed Stage 2D! To summarize what you've learned in this stage:

  • The concepts and key components of a cascade-rigged elevator
  • The main layout sketch concepts and geometry for elevators
  • Linear relations in assemblies
  • The uses of tube plugs and crush blocks for tube assemblies
  • More practice with a mechanism with moving parts and the origin cube

There's a lot of freedom for attaching mechanisms to this kind of elevator. If you mount it 90 degrees offset from the front of your robot, you can even create a passthrough mechanism that can move up and down.

Once you practice more main layout sketch integration in the next stage, you will be able to replicate a robot with an angled elevator in the later part of Stage 3.
