Re: Designing a climbing mechanism for 2013... a humbling experience

I believe we have a design that can climb the pyramid reliably 100% of the time (baring mechanical breakdown). It's relatively simple but fabricating it to be reliable is certainly quite hard. Right now turning the mechanical design into something we can fabricate is the big concern. One thing that's proven essential to getting the design working is that we have to build the robot around it. This isn't a component that can simply bolt onto a basic chassis like we typically do.
