May I ask what motor and gear reduction you used for your intake/climber? You're using a CIM correct? I was really impressed with how fast the lift pulled your bot.
Glad you liked our robot! We really wanted to push ourselves to raise the bar on Ri3D this year. I leave whether we succeeded in that up to the community

I did answer the same question earlier in this thread, if you'd like more details than that, let me know!
