Second can you post some specs on the drivetrain and the arm (which looks really familiar, but I cant place where it is from  )
Can't wait to see it compete in person at Florida |
Drivetrain:
-Drive: 4 wheels powered independently (4 CIMple Boxes 1 CIM each) robots top speed is just over 12 feet per second.
-Module Rotation: BaneBots RS-550 motors (one front, one rear) with a P60 gearbox (64:1) and a 3:1 reduction via chain. Modules can rotate 1.17 RPS
Ladder:
yes the ladder is very similar to Jacob's ladder, but this one uses 2 window motors and spectra cable. the ladder and the carriage both travel at the same time, allowing us to get 2 inches of elevation for every one inch that we rotate our cable. Erik designed it and I have been consumed by drivetrain and can't really elaborate much more than that.
