The reason being is that ALL of our climbing is autonomous and we currently don't have angle feedback and there were moments where our arm could begin lifting before the piston to raise the hook had fully extended. At each level we waited 1-2 seconds to ensure all systems "go" before ascending to the next level.

For champs we are adding angle feedback so we can eliminate those 4-6 seconds and make our climb much smoother.

For now enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=322fpSkMOr4

EDIT: For reference our entire climber weighs 15lbs and uses 1 CIM motor and 1 pnuematic piston.
