Simple Extendable Conveyor System

Description
Simple extendable conveyor based on the extendable scissor arms. This example acts as a refueling boom for large ships. The system can be repurposed for other uses as well such as mining and ore transport.

Originally I wanted to use the locking features on the Connectors but at the moment the rotors are not strong enough to overcome the magnetic locking forces of the connectors. This is the simple version of that system.

Cool

This looks interesting, but I achieved the exact same result (a extendable platform with a connector on the end) by placing a piston onto a conveyor tube and placing a connector on the far end. Extend it out, hook up whatever you want, disconnct, retract, fly off.

The video on constructing the scissor boom used a lot of copy/paste... is it possible to create this in survival?

It's possible. Bugs aside. only issue I can think of at the moment is would the rotors have enough torque to extend it.

¿is it possible to make it as long as I wish or this is the maximum due to breaking probability?

Improved version is now online on my workshop. This version uses connector-to-connector connection.

You could remove the entire scissor boom, and it would function exactly the same, with a *lot* less over-engineering. :-/
