"The devil" isn't in the details... The devil is having a loud house party with lots of other devils and demons in the details. And laughing, and laughing...

Hi you guys,
Sorry for not posting the video earlier (I've been so busy and I forgot to post it earlier). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5Hd...ature=youtu.be
We have altered it a little bit since we made the video. Sorry for not posting this earlier

Re: WE ROBOT 2705 - 30 point climb
 

Thanks for keeping your word! Looks awesome! Plan on making it faster?

Re: WE ROBOT 2705 - 30 point climb
 

Congrats on the first 30 point climb video posted ever!

It appears that you need to articulate your center of gravity to do this hang. How are you planning to achieve that without someone holding it?

Re: WE ROBOT 2705 - 30 point climb
 

Nice! Glad to see it's not vaporware!

Re: WE ROBOT 2705 - 30 point climb
 

Wow. Amazing concept. I really hope that you can alleviate some of these difficulties you have, because if you do then you will really have a great robot (not that you need me to tell you).

Re: WE ROBOT 2705 - 30 point climb
 

Congrats! That's awesome.

Re: WE ROBOT 2705 - 30 point climb
 

Nicely done! Is it all human controlled or is it "automatic" climbing?

Re: WE ROBOT 2705 - 30 point climb
 

First of all - Congratulations!

This feat is a huge accomplishment. The 30 point climb is possibly the hardest challenge FIRST has ever thrown at FRC teams. I know there is still an amount of human "assistance" provided in the video's hang attempt, and it was not at competition speed, but to get even this far is a big deal.

Secondly - Thank you!

Whether it was your intention or not, your video provides a ton of useful insight for teams trying to perfect their own climbing mechanisms. You can clearly see there are many many little details that your team has taken into account to get the robot's centre of gravity to behave nicely as you climb, as well as the path of the hooks as they both extend upward and retract. The lower hook placement is critical as well.

Well done! And good luck in the upcoming season!

Simply EPIC and Congrats!

I wish we were at that point in our build...

Re: WE ROBOT 2705 - 30 point climb
 

Im pretty sure the people holding the ropes and such are just there to keep the robot from falling; it's probably one of their first climbs, so they're being cautious.

Great video, interesting climb idea!

Re: WE ROBOT 2705 - 30 point climb
 

This is fantastic! Congratulations!

However, seeing an actual robot climbing from the inside, and seeing how little space is left in the top level for other 30pt bots is making me nervous. I guess alliances will just have to compromise and have some bots on the 3rd level and some on the 2nd?

Re: WE ROBOT 2705 - 30 point climb
 

How long is that video? 2 minutes? Hmmm...

Re: WE ROBOT 2705 - 30 point climb
 

Unless some bots can climb the outside

Re: WE ROBOT 2705 - 30 point climb
 

Great job guys looking foward to seeing you do that now with bumpers on.
