Re: Minibot climb rate

We were consistently getting ~1.2 seconds. We got our minibot measured by team 1279 at the DC regional and got a higher accuracy measurement:



Our deployment arm, when it was working properly , was taking ~0.2 seconds to get the bot on the pole, so total time was ~1.27 seconds.

Below is a photo of the bot, which uses a cnc machined chassis. Our goal was to use only the minimum of materials necessary to hold the components in place. Weight came in at 2.5 lb.
