So very, very tired.
Must get to pyramid.
Must avoid bag trying to swallow me.

I've seen some perplexing mechanisms before, but I think this takes the cake. I have no idea how it works.

Its Winnovation...It's probably magic.

Join the club. I thought I knew the theory but those wheels...maybe 1625 is just one heck of a troll

It's simple, they just drive straight up the pyramid.

This, to me, is a corner climber. Caterpillar bot! I've been wanting to see a working version of this all season, so I really hope you guys got it to work as intended!

Well, yes, it's a corner climber. It's just some of the wheel angles that are throwing me off...

My question is how do you put bumpers on that thing?

How so? Makes sense to me as far as I can tell.

Wait, never mind, I see how it works. Definitely stopping by their pit at Greater KC.

Me either:confused:
Wiser mentors (than I) asked me to take and post this picture; I think they are trolling, or maybe they believe in magic, or both.
Remember our team slogan: "In Theory, This Should Work."

Re: 1625 Approaches the Tower - again

Is it your climbing method for a three point climb, because it looks like the pole goes between the two spinning things (i dont know their technical name) and it just drives up. However i'm curious my team has been having trouble with our banebots burning up due to to high of tension, is this happening here?

Going for a thirty point climb and twenty point dump.
We call the spinning things, "starfish".
<Begin trolling> We have not burned out a single motor testing this. <End trolling>

Do you like our old pyramid, or the new one in the back of this photo better?

The climber should be made out of pvc and twine, it might work better. (I heard these materials channel the magic better).
