we (1684) just got ours working at Lansing, our rookie team (5460) has been consistently climbing since Kettering (sorry too tired to find videos) https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbi...4899&source=49

1410 scaled in every elimination match/when necessary in qualifications at Colorado and inconsistently during Arizona North.

Anthony,

What are you using to shoot your grappler claw up to the pipe? Is it a spring, pneumatic cylinder or combo of the two?

Outstanding engineering effort. Congratulations!

Thank you,

Re: Scaling Club
 

4490 can scale, but we had some complications with our climber that prevented us from climbing this year. However, we were able to.

Were a first year rookie team and we attempted many times at gtr east but finaly hung in North Bay.https://www.facebook.com/CANbotics/p...003340/?type=3

Team 4004, the M.A.R.S. Rovers, achieved consistent tower scales last weekend at West Michigan. Our robot's 'Intellihook' activated the winch automatically as soon as the hook made contact with the bar. It took the guesswork out of our drivers who couldn't always tell if we were hooked properly or not.

Sorry for the fuzzy picture... video to come soon.

It is a steel compression spring. The trigger is a pneumatic cylinder operating a simple over-center lever.

The dart itself has some bearings that ride the surface of the trigger cam to get a repeatable release.

Here's us scaling with M.A.R.S Rovers we're team 5980 https://youtu.be/mbhH-Yjif_Y?list=PL...VZEJfydWWuFUZb

Re: Scaling Club
 

Anthony,

Thank you for the reply! Where did you source the compression spring? We have tried a few different springs and cannot seem to get the distance. Also, some of the stiffer springs are very difficult to compress to set the trigger!

Thank you,

Team 1025 finally got our climber up and running at the Marysville event this past weekend!

Re: Scaling Club
 

3250 has a climber that was added during the Sacramento Regional. It has a grappling hook that shoots to the rung and the robot climbs using a PTO from the drivetrain. This is all achieved in a matter of seconds.

Re: Scaling Club
 

We were able to climb in under 5 seconds every round except when our alliance members would bump us off when we were trying to latch on. It was bullet proof and would even climb with only one side hooked.
