Re: Designing a climbing mechanism for 2013... a humbling experience
I worked on the problem all day with mentors and students. My hope was to decide "not gona happen" vs "can be done" so we can decode where to put effort. I think we have a solid 10 AND a viable 20. With effort the 20 may translate into a 30. If so, its a matter of team resource plus risk/reward in the game.
My feeling is that 100% of teams could do 10, but 80-90% will actually make it. 5-10% will attempt or make 20. Less than 1% of teams (who said 20 teams) will make 30. I also believe that a climb ONLY robot can't make it all the way. I will be as excited as everyone else EVERY TIME I see a 30 point climb. This is a really hard one.
