Here's a small video of the system at work. The only thing I don't like about it so far is the noisy Vex motor.

Thanks Dude,
But I'm have to say it failed!!!!
CRAP!!!
2 failures in a row, AURGH!!!
The lift works GREAT and it fits inside the dome with room to spare.
But it has grown some weight and I'm not happy with it now.
I figure with the added weight, The dome may have a lope to it and not turn smoothly.
So back to the drawing board again.

maybe re-engineer it in aluminum instead of using the heavy steel vex parts.
Dang...
Wasit Edison who tried lke thousands of tries to make a light bulb work...and after failing so many times a colleague asked him why he wasn't discouraged? He replied something like...all my attempts that didn't work wereen't failures becasue now I know 10,000 ways not to make a light bulb. Something like that.
