testing the gearing again.

I did not like having the the lifters so close to the ground so i decided to move the larger gearing cog so that it was infront of the smaller cog so that the lifter will be higher from the ground, then we will be able to mount the motor closer to the ground. By mounting the motor closer to the ground the total center of mass will be lower and then we will be harder to flip. After testing this new gearing setup i discovered that the gear is not in the correct place because the cogs skip when it is trying to lift. I decided to just change the shape of the lifter to solve this problem.
