The same thing happened to us. Eventually Figured it out though..

Deploy <1 second, climb<2.5 seconds, maybe even 2 seconds.

That is the target.

Right now we have the concepts on the deploy and the practice on the climb. Still working on the return to ground without touching the deployment device.

Starting to get fun!

Have you considered just reversing your mechanism or the whole hostbot away from the tower?

That's a really fast deployment, nice work!

I'd rather use electrical solenoids too, but I don't really deplore pneumatics. :) (I do love malapropisms though.;) )

Our Minibot, Ferdinand, only climbed about 5 feet on a pole in a vise, right at the end of our meeting, to the tune of "WRAP IT UP ! WE Gotta GET OUTTA HERE!!" (haven't heard that one yet? quite a beat, but you can't dance to it.)

Well.... apparently my team has decided to not let me post the minibot deployment test videos to youtube, sorry.

Re: Minibot Time Showcase
 
Team 2200 has the climb down to 2.36 seconds (average for 3 runs), we got time time by recording video, and using a millisecond counter built into quicktime. I will post a video in the next few days.

- Bochek

edit: Just so everyone understands, we have calculated that in theory, a minibot weighing 4.5lbs can climb the pole in 2.25 seconds. under near perfect conditions using 2 of the tetrix motors. I am slighly amazed that we achieved such good results.

do you have a link? I cant find the video on your team website or youtube channel.

Ok I've started to upload the videos but that will take forever and a half (3-4 Hours) because its about 3gb worth of videos.

Anyone know some of the team numbers that drove up the pole with 2 wheels last year? I know there were at least some in Atlanta, but I can't remember the numbers

2056 and 78 are the two that come to mind.
