Yeah it's in Building 9 at Johnson Space Center. They moved their last season. You can see some more of it in their 2015 reveal video as well, along with the NASA Robonaut hanging out. It is an awesome place to visit and practice with them.

118 congrats on another awesome robot, good luck with your journey up north.

I'm really confused on the specific rules, but aren't grappling hooks not allowed?

When confused by the rules its often best to read through them again and see if you can find a specific rule that would outlaw something. In this case no there is not specific rule that makes this climb illegal. Their our general safety rules and rules about grappling other robots but if 118 takes measures to ensure the safety of the field and all people around the field it should be ruled legal.

I see, I read the rules and it just seemed unclear weather or not grappling could be used to climb. It does look safe, but it does say no grappling with exceptions to special field elements I think. That's what confused me. Otherwise super genius idea

I had thought the same thing but just reread through the rules, and its perfectly legal as long as its safe. Guess i'm just used to grappling hooks being not alloweed.

Great idea 118! looks awesome!

It didn't look like there was a mechanism on that would even potentially be removed like previous years.

Climber (2013)
super twisty claw (2015)

That is an awesome robot.

At second 0:47 what lands on the batter next to the robot? Looks like a piece of bungee
