30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

Here is our robot climbing to receive the 30 points. We are very excited this season. I'm the one driving by the way.

Very cool, didn't think we'd see one of these this year. Does the pipe fit into the wheel somehow to keep you centered?

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

Yes it does. The wheel is also kept inside before the match to fit size specifications.

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

This is very impressive, nice design.
Good luck this year

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

Very nice! What actuates the arms?

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

Pneumatics for the tilt and gearboxes for the extension.

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

I love the design... I really wanted to do a corner climber this year, but the team overruled me and we're going up the side. Good job!

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

I really like that design. Can you make it faster?

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

My favorite part about corner climbers is how easy it is to score a 20pt dump once you're up there. Great job guys!

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

That's the plan.

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

Our team is doing a very similar design with conveyors and chain ;)

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

Yeah. We have a brake but we were having issues getting the sequence down for it to actually work. I also paused for like 5 seconds halfway through. our goal is 45 seconds. Any less than that is awesome extra time.

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

Did you guys use a custom wheel or a COTS wheel? It doesn't look like a standard wheel, or are you guys using a wheel hub?

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

The wheel we fabricated ourselves. We fabricate a lot, not much of it is COTS.

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!
 

Wow, really impressive, and looks very stable.
Is the big wheel solid, with a concave outer profile, or is it just an under-inflated tire?
Could you automate the climbing sequence for faster speed?
