Re: WE ROBOT 2705 - 30 point climb

First of all - Congratulations!

This feat is a huge accomplishment. The 30 point climb is possibly the hardest challenge FIRST has ever thrown at FRC teams. I know there is still an amount of human "assistance" provided in the video's hang attempt, and it was not at competition speed, but to get even this far is a big deal.

Secondly - Thank you!

Whether it was your intention or not, your video provides a ton of useful insight for teams trying to perfect their own climbing mechanisms. You can clearly see there are many many little details that your team has taken into account to get the robot's centre of gravity to behave nicely as you climb, as well as the path of the hooks as they both extend upward and retract. The lower hook placement is critical as well.

Well done! And good luck in the upcoming season!
