Do you happen to have detailed pics of the 179 robot for Stonghold? I'm particularly interested in the climbing mechanism. How does it extend for example?

Thanks
The climber on the in season robot is a 1x1 frame that pivots off the intake. the pivot points are the same as the unused ones on tacodiles intake as 9179 uses the plates that the 179 robot was using in palmetto. At the rear of the intake pneumatic pistons extended into the climber 1x1 tubes holding the climber down. when we go to climb the pistons are retracted and springs and surgical tubing cause the climber to flip up. The cord that dangles down is normally velcrod to the top of the hanger arm and is released by the force of the climber frame extending up. To retract the whole thing the cord spools onto a pipe powered by a PTO off of the drivetrain.
