Re: Pyramid variation
When I measured at Lake Superior, the two pyramids were virtually identical... no more than 1/8" off in height for any of the level 10 bars. They were all about 1/4" below the ideal, however.
Variation should be expected and planned for. When we built our robot, we planned for an extra 1" between the top of the robot and the bottom of the lower bar, in order to ensure we could go under. We also built in an extra couple of inches of reach, in case the spacing between the bars wasn't exactly 30". As a result, variation in the pyramid design wasn't even something we thought about at the regional - the climb just worked.
