right now our robot is literally a rectangle frame with wheels. if we can't get a climber tonight we're doomed.

What do you mean where did we get the climber? We made the climbing mechanism.
Our climbing mechanism is composed of two pneumatic actuators with two metal hooks on the end. They are encased in aluminum tubing that is mounted to the frame. The cylinders are from Bimba, but sadly they take a long time to ship.
This video will explain it at 2:20
