I see that they posted pics of their bot here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/35361
But the only pic that is broken is the one for the latching. |
1717 Used a gas spring to lift themselves up. This was an excellent idea because even if they grabbed the tower at the last second, the robot would still go up the tower even after the robot was disabled. That mechanism wouldn't work this year as it reacted against the top surface of the tunnel.
