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

Don't think that there isn't an easy way to do something without compromising something in a big way. Our team has developed an easy way to climb 3 lvls and have a shooter that can consistently shoot 3 points. Sunday night the weekend of the kick-off, I had an epiphany of a simple design that takes up little space and uses just 3 motors. The first week we prototyped and have been celebrating at the success since. The one thing we did decide to lose is the frisbee pick up for an unrelated reason. Just keep trying.
