Team 3675's 3 level climber!

What does the Delphi community think of our climbing/scoring mechanism?







We can climb all three levels and hold our robot on the top. In addition, we also score in the lowest goal. Our idea is that we can score very consistently and frequently, and then climb for big points!

Our climbing is achieved by 4 2in OD Bimba cylinders. Two are attached to the frame of the robot and move the mechanism across two slides. The pitch to climb is then chain driven with torque limiters to make sure we don't burn out our motors or damage the mechanism. A video is coming soon! Until then, tell us what you think!
