This year has proven to me that you can have more fun with pool noodles at a robot competition than in a pool!

There was a belay rope available for taking robots off of the practice pyramid, as well as one for the practice field where they were running matches.

One insane idea and lots and lots of CADding. We never had a working prototype, and the robot had never even climbed to 10 points when we bagged it. We got the climbing mechanism to work for the first time on our practice robot a week before our first regional.
