CEPHAS 1860 - 10 POINTS/30 POINTS CLIMB
This video shows only the climb of the first level, however for the other levels the mechanism is the same, let's make the climb of 30 points, we tested the concept, and proved that it really :)

How do you tip in the right direction to climb another level if the actuation bar is higher than 30" and thus you can't be 'inside' the tower?

Yes, but our mechanism was made to climb the outside of the pyramid, so we do not need nor want to enter the pyramid.... |

He meant the arm would not be angled to within the pyramid, thus your next "claw" would be grabbing air.

Yes it would take the air, but the other two arms, will be articulated until they are parallel with the bars 60'' and 90'' |

we'll move away from the bars with an articuladed and angulated device (in order to keep the robot most parallel possible to the ground).
So two similar arms (some little differences) could be grab another bars. Maybe we need to change the position of the robot's mass center, but we haven't sure yet. |

yes, independently of the pendulum robot our method is not affected. We are centralizing all the weight is in the robot, so that the least possible angule ... |
Re: CEPHAS 1860 - 10 POINTS/30 POINTS CLIMB
Using the center of gravity to your advantage for a hang like this would be quite smart. Looks like you know at roughly what angle the robot comes to rest. At the very least, you are all set for 10 pts.

Sadly, this is quite far from being a 30 pt climber still. Your winch works great, and using bars to force the robot into the right plane for the next grab is a start, but you also have to have a second clamp hold you steady while you grab the next bar, rinse and repeat for the third bar. It's not nearly as simple as what I stated either, you have to overcome to offset the bumpers put on you as well.

I dont think it is as complicated as everyone else is saying. They can take the same mechanism they have and duplicate it, then mount it so they can pivot it forward to engage the next bar.

What happens when the power to the field/robots is cut?

~~~~~~ Anyways, this seems like an interesting way to go. If you have another hook off center, will the robot tip, or is the one hook enough to hold it without the robot falling off? |
