Re: Defensive climbing bot??

My advice to you is make sure your gear ratio is high enough and you put a ton of motors on the climbing mechanism. Those are the two biggest ways rookie teams screw up climbing like this. Since you would not be close on weight, I would take a drive train gearbox from vex pro and put 3 cims/775's on it. Then get the right ratio.
