- - 3494 Prototypes (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=142930)

As we are already half way through the build season (yikes!), we decided to share some of our prototypes.

This is a very early climbing prototype of a level climb by a short robot. Yes, this video does not include how one would implement the idea, but we can't give all of our secrets away! ;)

The other is a more complete shooting prototype. We are shooting from the outerworks distance and the two tape points on the wall are the top and the bottom of the goal.

Good Luck with your build!

Thanks for sharing your prototypes! Any idea on how much force you're using on the catapult prototype?

We did not measure that yet, but I can get that number tonight. Although we only used 2 wraps of bungee cord for this prototype as opposed to the 6 we used in 2014 for scale.
