Re: Robot climbing times
If somebody climbs the pyramid in <5 seconds I will eat my tongue. Climbing 100" inches of tower in 4 seconds would require a robot to travel at a ludicrous 2.08 ft/s VERTICALLY WHILE CLIMBING. Ridiculous. The only way I could see something even remotely close to this is if you dedicated your robot to climbing, in which case you made your robot a box on wheels and on which your bumpers and battery weigh more than the robot itself. I'm sorry if I'm coming off harsh, but I don't think it's possible to climb a 9' ladder in 4 seconds unless you're a living organism.
