hi,
i havent used Arduino before and i wanted to do a project i wanted help with Arduino as i wanted to use it to write the program for this,
i will attach a link to what i want to achieve if i could get help getting started it would be great.
also if this project is possible how long do you guys the programming could take ?
depend's, this is pretty easy to do with arduino, if you are talking about toy cars.
You can do this with real car's too but then you are going to need a more reliable elavator type.

how long do you guys the programming could take ?
Even for professionals software always takes longer than the time available.
If you are new to programming this will be a challenging, but fun, project. And you will also need to build the mechanical system.
To start you off, have a look at planning and implementing a program and stepper motor basics
There are many good small example programs with the Arduino IDE.
...R
PS the system in the video makes appallingly poor use of real-estate.
as a rule of thumb, the first 90% of the project takes 90% of the time. the next 90% of the project takes another 90% of the time, and the next 90% of the project takes 90% of the time.
since you asked, we have to assume you have no familiarity with the arduino software.
also, since you asked, and did not mention you have any software experiance, this will take a lot of learning
lifting the car will take a bunch of sensors.
is car present
is arm retracted
is arm under car a proper location
is car lifted
does care height exceed allotted dimensions.
you will need to learn about writing code
about how to use steppers or servos or motors
since you did not ask about the mechanics, can we assume you are only doing the software? someone else is doing the hardware ? not that it matters.
