Team 1322 successfully attached their robot to our supports, but since we were not completely attached to the tower, it caused our robot to move into a lower vertical position where we were no longer considered elevated. We are able to successfully elevate our (single) robot with the support of one hook, as proven in two matches at the Kettering University District.

After the aforementioned match, we discovered the root problem of the difficulty of attaching both hooks, and made some physical modifications to the design. These changes yielded positive results, which allowed our robot to successfully elevate itself in the successive matches.


I would also like to thank Team 1322 for your immense efforts to attempt to suspend your robot from ours. Had our Team's second hook successfully attached to the tower, we certainly would have seen the first elevate/suspension! Thanks for all of the great teamwork!

Thank's Clinton, We almost hung but with our hook droping almost 2 feet below the bar hieght it took extra time for the cable to wind up on our wench. Once it caught up and started to hang time was up. I am positive if your second hook would have caught we would have done it.

I bet you will get many chances coming up to sucseed. With the low scores it can be a game decider.
