Climb and Dump Club
 

After watching 1114 and 1421 (climb & dump robots) put up consistent climb/dumps in their respective finals, this strategy should be important at champs.

tentative Climb/Dump Club List :
61
1259
1448
1714
3196
4143

FYI : this is just for a list, if you want to debate strategy of dump/climb go here

Here's an updated list sorted by climb/dump time.

1114 (20 seconds)
179 (25 seconds) - level 2 climb only
1421 (30 seconds)
4451 (30 seconds)

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

88 in boston had what i think was the only climb and dump at the event. They did it several times

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Team SPORK (3196) climbed and dumped at North Carolina

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Here is video of 1918 climbing for 30 and almost dumping in the last finals match of West Michigan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td5pbEflvzU

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Consistent? Perhaps not, but by the eliminations of raliegh team 587 figured out dumping and successfully completed 2 or 3 dumps in the 5 matches played in elims. After an quite an adventure to get there it was ratifying to beat the number 2 alliance as a very low low underdog alliance, helped greatly by 50 points per match. No championships for us, but hey... it dumped :D

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

1448 shows the awesome capacity to climb for 30 and dump for 20. http://youtu.be/jIsTcNfGN2k

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

2177 did it at Lake Superior, and plans to do it again in a couple of days at North Star! http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=114813

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

3339 could climb and dump. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNJ3MIAxu30
We didn't perform the dump in our regional because most of the robots were definsive and blocked us from going back to the pyramid...

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Change the link in here for 2177 to this, it's a much better (and faster) rendition of our climb.

On a side note, we figured out the software bug that was slowing us down... I hope to be able to post several more videos showing our new reliable speed after North Star this week!

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Really glad we got to join this club. These are some impressive times.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Here is a better video of our climb & dump. I'd like to say that this is a "typical" match for us (5 in auton, 8 in teleop, climb & dump), but not yet. We're working on it. http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?v=616727458356643&set=vb.179172515489660 &type=2&theater

1259's bot climbing and dumping. About 50 seconds in its entirety.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

1806 does it at level 2

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

1023 did a handful of climb & dumps at the Centerline (formerly Wayne State) competition 2 weeks ago... and that was coming back after falling from level 3 during a practice match on Thursday night and catching on fire (well, the bot was SMOKING)! Super kudos to Bedford Express :D

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Team 1448 competed with our 50pt climber/dumper at the Oklahoma regional and went to semi-finals until we lost to the Titanium/S.W.A.T alliance. Our climb time was 50 seconds.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

1334 was finally able to climb and dump at GTR West.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

We were finally able to do it....once. That counts right? :D

Hopefully we can get it work a little more often.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

After looking at the scout data, at CT team 236 climbed/dumped in about 40 sec. They climbed/dumped in 7 out of 9 qualification matches.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Add 190. They do it well and it looks good too :)

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Here's a video of 236 climbing and dumping in 30 sec.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Here is some great video of our climb and dump. Climb and line-up were slow but we are working on improving that for calgary.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

95 pulled off one climb and dump at CT

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Team 3496 Climed and dumped every time @ buckeye Regional. All the way thru to the last match of the qurterfinals. We had 340 Climb points at the end. Not bad We also had 210 @ cinci last week.

Super disaponted at the refs @ buckeye. Realy bad calls in Qurter final. any one else have any problems. Alot of teams not returning.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Here's 179 at the South Florida Regional with a Climb and Dump at >18 Seconds:
http://youtu.be/c6_2QACxF7Q?t=2m1s

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Team 3496 can climb and dump in 40 seconds, this time including line up. Sorry, the picture doesn't show us making a dump :(

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

CT regional Q67 saw 2170 climb and dump for 50 points in about 26 seconds. There was a bobble in there too, so climbing could be faster, I suppose. I have split the feed from 230's stream, here.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Team 4294, Star-TREC demonstrated some climbing and dumping at the Troy District event. I can't remember how long it took, though. I remember it didn't take very long.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Here is 3196 doing it at Smokey Mountains. We also did it at Palmetto and North Carolina. Occasionally the last frisbee falls out like in this video. we probably average around 30-40seconds for the climb and dumb. I think our fastest climb was around 20seconds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8WajM5azcE

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Hopefully this isn't too off topic but has any robot completed an assisted climb (like shown in the kickoff video)?

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

I believe 2374 was the only robot in the Northwest to climb and dump. They didn't always dump all 4 in successfully, but when they did it was cool!

Once they obtained the colored discs and returned to the pyramid, I think they could climb in around 15-20 seconds. The dump was delayed for a while, I believe they needed to wait for enough compressed air to dump. It made the tension rise and the Wambo Combo was all the more exciting!

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

I can't quite figure out how this climb is legal. It pretty clearly looks like the robot is touching the floor at the same time it is touching the level 2 bars, just prior to the stick that is on the floor being retracted.

Am I seeing that wrong?

It looks like its the same as many corner climbers. Such as 1114, 1023, 85, and 67 just to name a few off the top of my head. It probably just has two sets of fingers that hold on the the gusset/horizontal bars without touching the vertical bar in the next level.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Add 75 to the list

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

You can add team 358 to the climb and dump club as well. The Robotic Eagles of Hauppauge NY did it well enough to win the SBPLI Long ISland Regional this past weekend.

Oh yeah, they also took home some other hardware, something called the RCA. Watch for them at St. Louis

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Most corner climbers pull up not push down

True, but they pull up by pushing down on their arm. And usually having the robot be "driven" up the arm.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Team 236 the Techno Tics climbs by means of twin 1/2-2 lead screws, the lead nuts are driven and attached to the robot frame. The inner rails we call the tail never touch the carpet. The robot climbs up the inner rails, reattaches with the outer hooks, and "tail drags" to the next level and starts all over again till we reach the top. If all goes well we should climb a little faster at St. Louis. See you there.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Also keep in mind, 1114 does not just climb and dump. Yes they do have the quick capability to but they also do a lot more, along with others. Just climbing and dumping won't be a problem, that can be out scored easily. They key is the teams that will be able to have a 18 pt auto, 3-6 loads in the 3pt goal, and there climb and dump at the end.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

I am seeing it the same way you are. To me, it looks illegal; they look to be touching the Ground + Level 1 + Level 2, all at the same time.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Can someone make a sublist of Climb/Dump teams that will be at CMP?

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

We (Team 3309) we're able to improve our times and consistency a lot in Las Vegas. We were averaging about 25 seconds for a 30 point climb and dump. In this particular match, we were about (a little under?) 30 seconds from the time we started.

Edit: forgot the link

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Has anyone joined the dump but no climb club?

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

1023 made a climb but fell off in their first match at one district.

I have watched a number of robots try and shoot colored discs from the ground (3003, 51 among others) I have seen none of them score all four of them. We managed to get 1/4 at Buckeye and will be taking another crack at it in St. Louis.

In fact, this brings up the interesting question of why the GDC gave us 6 colored discs. Has anyone managed to score all 6 of them?

The only use I can think of is if there were two climb and dumpers on an alliance. Shooting them from the ground makes no sense as an entire cycle for only 2 more discs is silly.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

558 is the only team I've seen do it. They once got all 4 from the floor, but they got at least two or three pretty repeatably at WPI.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...FYA1c#t=11 4s

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

3309 was a very impressive climber + dumper at Vegas, as was 4146.

25 was able to do 20 point climbs during matches, and 30 point climbs on the practice field. In the playoffs they came out sporting an interesting looking mechanism that might be worth watching at the World Championship. ;)

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

It looks like the "stick" is pushing on the pyramid foot, which is level 0. I think that part is fine. However when climbing to level 3 it appears that they are pushing on the level 1 bar and contacting the level 3 bar.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

From what I saw of 236's hanger, despite how it looks the black leadscrew is neither touching the ground at level 0 or the corner at level 1. It is not pushing off of anything. There are hooks pulling on the corner as with almost every other corner climber this year.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

1619 was able to climb and dump this weekend. They took a few spills, but the damage never seemed fatal. The climb was somewhere in the range of 20 seconds, but the lineup time was sometimes over a minute, or couldn't be fit into a match.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Champs Climb/Dump List : (this is going to be updated after week 7)

1114 (18 seconds)
1806 (25 seconds) - level 2 climb only
1421 (30 seconds)
4451 (30 seconds)
236 (30 seconds)
1334 (30 seconds)
95 (50 seconds)
3339 (60 seconds)
67 (need video)
358 (need video)

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

It's about 25 seconds from the time our hooks engage the level 1 bar to dumping in the top while on level 2.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Team 2221 had the ability to climb the first level and dump frisbees

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Depends on when you start your timing. This footage from the finals in Calgary shows us climbing and dumping in closer to 20s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg-FHOqJBJM

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

:o Chris is me is correct, the Team 236 robot tail ( inner rails and lead screw assembly ) never touches the carpet it is suspended by a hook at the top of the device,so upon docking we are touching the 30 horizontal bar (zone 1 ) and the floor (zone 0) we never contact the vertical bar above zone 1. As soon as the bot clears the floor we are only in contact with zone 1 until the outer hooks grab the 60" horizontal bar, we are now in contact with zone 1 and 2. we now drag the tail until the hook grabs the 60" bar and only in contact with zone 2. Repeat all of above to score 30 points.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Sir Edmund, of 2170, climbed and dumped in QF4-1 of the CT Regional between 57 and 34 seconds remaining. (= approx 24 sec.) There were several bobbles in it, so the potential for faster climbing is there. Alignment time was not great either. We have a camera on board, but I'm not sure how useful it is for alignment. This climb attracted the attention of the opposing alliance, who intervened effectively in the second match to frustrate our driver's attempt to get to the pyramid.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Steampunk 1577's robot, Torpedo, scores to the pyramid goal without climibing. You can watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBCLLfyAecA at 1:28.
You can also come to see us on our pit, we will compete in the Championship in St. Louis.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

We became extremely cautious in aligning after falling from the 3rd level (and all we broke was a machine screw!) :) I wish we took more opportunities to dump discs, but we changed our strategy after our second tumble: We'd get discs from the feeder station, but an opposing team would wait at the midfield for us to cross, then ram us (causing a minimum of the discs to fly out of the presenter, or at worst, a tipped 'bot). This was a very fun season, falls notwithstanding.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ohLWO_Du60

Took 23 seconds for 3 discs, if we had 1 more second the 4th would have shot.

Have done it as quick as 21 seconds in previous matches with 3 discs, when the 4 disc did not get loaded.

Settle at 22-24 seconds?

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

First time I saw the fall from that side of the field. Having never seen two bots at in the 30 point range, people asked "what is the worst that could happen" My reply was we could both fall off the tower and land on 33. SO glad only one of us fell and that we did not land on 33

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Though a few times they only did a 20 pt climb, Team 358 (SBPLI Chaisman's Winners and Regional Champions), The Happauge Robotic Eagles, could climb for 30 pts and dump for an additional 20. I'd say it was a rather impressize machine to watch.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Comparing this thread to the list of teams registered for CMP at this time indicates the following climb and dump robots at CMP (with reported climb time):

67 (21)
88 (45)
95 (50)
103
190
236 (30)
358
1114 (20)
1334 (30)
1421 (30)
1448 (50)
1714
1806 (25)
1918 (30)
2481 (40)
3339 (60)
4451 (30)

This thread identifies 35 climb/dump robots. I'd say 16/35 is a pretty good success rate.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

If you time the climb as 254 does in their video, where the timer is started when the robot first lifts off the ground, team 1334 has a 15 second climb and dump scene in this video:
http://watchfirstnow.com/archive3.php?id=63000921

line-up is still slower than 1114 (getting faster), but if you count the time to take to dump, 1334 is faster than 1114, watch this video where we race them up the pyramid, we are simply waiting there on top while 1114 unloads their disks:
http://watchfirstnow.com/archive3.php?id=63005133

I would say that our whole climbing sequence is around 20 seconds, not 30, 15+5 as we do take a couple seconds to tilt the robot to the correct angle before we lift off the ground.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

1421' s fastest climb and dump time is 21 seconds. That time was made at the Razorback Regional!

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

(climb time in parentheses )

Here is the distribution of climb/dump in the different divisions.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

1421's climb and dump time is 21 seconds just to let you know!!

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Team 1448's climb and dump is now 29-35 seconds

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Team 1810 can be added to the list, we were in curie, but often did not get noticed. We had a three point shoot in autonomous, but we often only made 2 of the 3 discs. Our climb took some time, but it had more to do with the fact that we ended up making our climb autonomous, as in we programmed it so our drivers would just get under the pyramid, press a button, and our robot would climb and dump.

Re: Climb and Dump Club
 

Team 3339 (BumbleBee) has improved the climbing speed,
now it's 45 seconds and we got a new video from the champs of the improved climb and a full dump :)

25 did plenty of 20 point climbs and dumps, on the real field. Not sure about 30's. They also put up some killer defense with those gigantic wheels!
