My thoughts were about 6 to 10 cans, depending on how many can show up...
Here is a question for the lot of you, what is the best way to lift a heavy
object (I already have a gripper and I was thinking of lifting my can straight
up. My gripper will be attached to a tower and I want to raise the gripper and
can aproximatly 2 - 3 inches. I was thinking of using gear racks to accomplish
this, but I was concerned about the weight bein a factor and possibally causing
slippage.. Are there any othe methods that are reliable?
