Nice scale!

A couple of robots forgot to score their boulders. You guys need to shoot more! :rolleyes:

I didn't get a chance to see them last weekend, how do you guys climb because I don't really see anything to get up there. I mean no pneumatics or motors are visible up top

Agreed. Those two boulders would have given us the capture.

Two big honkin cylinders and a couple of constant force springs. This is the match the pic is from. The rest of the regional is on Breakaway's YouTube page.

If I'm not mistaken, I see wheels on the bottom of your robot, along the belly pan. I assume these are for going over defenses, are these wheels powered?

I'm obviously not on 16, but judging by the chain connecting the wheels, I'm guessing they are powered.

They are powered by 775Pros through 10:1 VersaPlanetary gearboxes.

Very cool, but is this not an invalid scale due to the bumpers?

I'm not sure what you're asking. The bumpers are clearly above the low goal.

Nice! Are you able to do a 610-style 'HangShot' from up there? :p

Re: pic: Team 16, The Bomb Squad's Climb
 
My team's understanding of the rules is that the bumpers must stay between 4" and 12" when translated (i.e., take the robot off the bar and set it on the ground in the same position). Is this not correct? If it is not, please point me to the rule(s) in the manual that explain it.

We run a very similar climb to 16's and they have done a legal climb here. They hoist themselves up with the arm on a 90 (ish) degree angle. After they've reached the top they pivot the chassis to the vertical position you see above. Because their intake is designed to be within the 15 in limit when lowered to collect boulders, assuming they follow the steps outlined above, this would be a legal climb.

R22 below, with the relevant section bolded.

D'oh! Thanks for the clarification and pointing me to the correct section. I'll bring it to my team's attention at our next meeting.
