Complete assembly

The Tower System is moved by two Fisher Price motors located at the bottom of the system. One motor raises the tower to a maximum height and the other raises the tower system to a higher height.

Tower Extension
There are two levels to the tower extension system. In the explosion drawing seen here, there are two levels. The first level is controlled by the upper lead screw and the upper Fisher Price motor (in reference to the 2D drawing seen above). When that is fully extended, the second stage motor bracket extends further, controlled by the lower Fisher Price motor.

This bracket holds the upper lead screw at the top of the tower system. It allows free movement of the lead screw.

This bracket moves the tower up an additional level. It holds the bottom lead screw in place.

These brackets are an important part of the tower system. They not only firmly support the two lead screws but also allow easy movement of the tower.

|
The two Fisher Price motors are mounted at the bottom of the system and lie almost at the very bottom of the overall robot design.

The Tilt is what makes our robot have the ability to have our tower go down and up. It is controlled by a Fisher Price motor mounted on the chassis system driving a lead screw (much like the tower system's lead screws). A manufactured bracket enables us to mount the tower to the lead screw in order to control our tower movement.
