The Ultimate Guide To Bar Lifts

I used to have a lot of trouble with bar lifts, so I compiled a guide to the tips that helped me make efficient and stable bar lifts.

Dude, this is beautifully done. Love the ending too. There's very little good educational content for rookies that I've come across.

Thank you so much, I would not have been able to make a good 8 bar without this video.

[adreanarnette]

Thank u for these. This will be our first year with VRC. And these videos will help us learn!!

Your a life saver, I’m trying out for vex and this is a really well out video:)

[madingthree]

Teams in tipping point found this video extremely useful

Extremely helpful for a vex noob like me. Subbed

You don't need to use nylocks, you can just tighten a keps nut a lot. It makes it so much easier to assemble and disassemble.

Also at 1:56 if you put those three hole spacers on the inside of the c channels you would save a lot of space.

Is it just me or does he sound like matpat....






No? Just me? Oh...

very cool, never used vex before but lego and some electronics, seems like double wishbone or live axle suspension is possible with vex then :D

How high can the 6 bar you built in this video go? Thanks!

[Graylord]

Where do you get the bars themselves? I've gotten pretty decent at the robotics themselves, but I'm struggling to find good construction materials.

And keep things as physically compact as you can. Stays stronger that way.

Where will i get this steel or aluminum bar lifts? Can U provide the link?

[sceptilep]

Aren't these just scissor lifts? Are there any differences?

[ethanmorrell]

What kind of screwdriver are you using?

[skitsyyt]

Can you please give me an example on how you would use it with an object? I am confused on how you would apply this to your robot. How would the lift hold it?

0:28 common miss conception it’s actually called a 4 bar because there are 4 parallel bar 2 horizontal and 2 vertical and this holds true for all bar lifts also you’ll find less friction if you put a nylon/teflon washer between the screw head and the c channels or just in between any 2 pieces of metal that are rubbing against each other also use nylon spacers instead of nuts when spacing out screw joints for reduced friction 1460G

can you do a double reverse double 4 bar lift - using an electric actuator - has anyone seen this?

[niltixier]

This video saved my parents marriage, they still beat me up lol

[joej]

That is just not a good way to attatch the bars on a lift.
