    Build: Scissor Lift for Construction Activities

    Check out the first build for a possible sixth robot "Handy Builder" of the Robot Inventor set that lets you do construction themed activities.  Similar to the other robots, this builds upon a base robot with which you can switch up what it can do just by changing some attachments or parts.

    This first one is a build of a scissor lift.  The main function is the lift platform that you can control to go up or down.  Secondary functions are the drive and steering built on the compactly designed base.

    The build uses parts of the LEGO Robot Inventor set 51515 and just two extra parts -- a small linear actuator and a universal joint - to simulate the real mechanism while maintaining the compactness of the overall design.
