Re: 2014 Game

Similar to ours. We were using fiberglass for our arms because of their strength and flexibility. Whenever our climber failed and we were hanging from just one arm, that one stretched and caused the climber to always fail until we fixed it by replacing the arm or stretching the other arm to make sure they had the exact same lengths. Team 2403 climbed in a similar way to us, till the third rung, however, they used aluminum and hinges instead, making it more robust. Also, I was surprised how their climber utilized only two BAG motors, while we used and entire MiniCIM and got a similar or faster speed
