Tape measure climber club
 

Please post take measure climber videos/pictures here. This is team 4130 on blue alliance at FIM marysville district climbing with a tape measure. This is pushing it out and retracting the robot with the tape measure. No winch system needed. Go to around 2:19. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2...kFMVFZJblF5OVE

Cool can you explain how exactly this was done?

Re: Tape measure climber club
 

Yeah! So what it is its two 3D printed housing that hold the tapes. Yes I said tapes. We put two tapes back to back to makes u shape having the tapes meet in the middle, it's chain driven by a 775 pro. Two little andymark wheels push out the tape and also retract it, it's also very consistent.

Could you post some pictures?

Re: Tape measure climber club
 

are tape measures just like, invincible or something? :P

Re: Tape measure climber club
 

The original design was posted by Drew from team 4564 (Thanks Drew!). The 3D printed housing and concept of how to drive the tape using the 1.625 Colson wheel was directly from his design. Our team modified the concept to include a pair of tape measures fed back to back. The whole package weighs less than 9 pounds.
These pictures are from our prototype, unfortunately we did not get too many pic’s of the final product. The 2.5” Colson wheels at the exit point were replaced with 2” AndyMark Blue Stealth wheels.

This probably sounds like an odd question but how much does all of this weigh? My team is short on weight but I still think a climbing mechanism could be useful.

Thanks for pointing that out, I probably should have read through the post a little better.
