Re: Climbing Mechanism Ideas

I personally don't agree with having a climbing only robot. It seems that in order to be a top 8 team or be picked by one, a versatile robot is necessary. Now back to climbing ideas: What if your robot is triangular and between 30" and 60" tall. What one could do is plant robot near the pyramid, use pistons to push it back so that the robot lays on the "side" of the pyramid, and then a conveyor belt with hooks on it can pull the robot up the diagonal side of the pyramid without touching the corners and still being legal. I hope whatever I just said makes sense.
