Re: Designing a climbing mechanism for 2013... a humbling experience
This refers to a device that many successful teams last year had. It was usually a rod (often pneumatic piston) that dropped down below the drive train after the robot was on the bridge as to help stabilize the bridge and minimize rocking, making it easier to balance. It was easier to add on later in the game because it was a smaller amount of weight (~5lbs or less) and could be added in many places on the robot without too much hassle on the first day of the competition.
