Re: Climb Stopping Mechanism
Our team is using a hex shaft, so we will include a 1/2" ratcheting wrench to help us climb. This was seen to be effective from Ri3D 1.0 and our team is worried that our bot might fall after the buzzer (or at least glide down, which still isn't safe).
I've changed my opinion since the reveal. I thought that it would be stronger to use a single grabbing motion (like the 2013 pyramid climbers), but I've noticed that you would need to dedicate a huge portion of your bot to that.
Our team is using a type of winch. It's not an original idea, but our testing shows its effectiveness. We are quite excited to be climbing this year.
Good luck all!
