Re: Climbing

Ugh yesterdays first practice was rough.... the game is/can be brutal on your bot (and that is without an active defender)

As for the climber for the most part it worked what did not was the balance on the climb we cold climb but listed to one side due to the battery. We likely will still try to climb and have to figure out a solution to balance on way up. At our practice the hang bar was higher diameter than our sample so our hook needs redone (as that is regulation size for some reason ours was thinner)

First thing we need to fix is our entire shooting mechanism as it got tweaked bad (Ran into defense with it). Need to go to steel mount.

As for the manipulators those need redone too.

I think this game is going to be very rough on teams as we usually build a very robust bot, this time we underestimated the wear and tear on it especially on key systems. Directly tied to no real practice until yesterday.

The treads worked well except on of the pulley screws worked its way out delaying us while we figured it out.
