Re: Team 997 Spartan Robotics "Ultamate Ascent" Climber (vid)

Wow! Thanks for all the awesome ideas! I really like the flywheel design idea. And, we had considered using gas shocks while designing it, and we were going to buy pistons with springs in them. However, money is a big issue on my team.

UPDATE! We have completed the climb in about 40 seconds. As you can imagine, we are fully utilizing the Autonomous Period. Also, we have an awesome driver. There is padding where there can be, and things are going well. A bottom cover for the base bumper has been made.
