[maddoctor90]

Tonight my team thought we would have a little fun and try out our new GoPro camera!

Excellent. I'm really looking forward to "robot-reveal" season this year because of the challenges the game presents. Seeing teams post their solutions to the challenge of climbing (human-assisted prototype or not) is really awesome, and congratulations! The speed at which you climbed is also pretty great! Best of luck this season, I can only imagine things will get even more exciting!

Prove it's legit.

Very cool, its one of those ideas that makes you go, "well duh!"

Also, thanks for the comments, guys!

We're looking forward to seeing everyone at Wisconsin (as well as Crossroads), again, as well. We are sure that it's going to be just as competitive, if not more-so, than ever with the number of great teams competing this year.

Good luck to everybody and we will have a couple follow-up videos potentially planned (time and resource depending) leading up to a bigger reveal closer to bag day.

Couple things to answer some of the questions/comments:
1 - yes, this is a legit climb
2 - yes, those are pneumatics you hear...but that's not all you hear
3 - there is more to our robot than meets the eye...with the video

So cynical

Given that this was probably a design mulled over by many, I'm gonna go with legit. Well done!

What can I say? I'm a guy of proof. That, and i was hoping questioning the mechanism's legitimacy would lead to another video (which it did, looking at OP's post above).

This is gonna be one awesome reveal. And I feel OP is going to have a lot of fun slowly releasing specific details and watching us go crazy over them trying to figure them out.

Sounds like what CD does on game hints

I can verify that this climb is legit. You will just have to take the word of a member from another team until they release more.

Looks great - big fan of corner climbing!

I like how quiet the level to level lifting is.

Best of luck - looking forward to finding out the full details of your creation! And see you at Crossroads! Sure would be nice to be on an alliance together instead of opposing each other ala 2012.

Same to you guys! ...and, ditto on the alliance comment. Those elim matches from last year were epic. Congrats again!

Sounds like springs? If it's similar to our design, you're using them on the hooks, but I'm curious as to whether they might be part of your design elsewhere...

Very cool design-- I hope I get a chance to see it in person (or at least get to watch a few matches with it!).

Teams please take a lesson from this 2481. This is what a teaser looks like not a metal block with a hole in it.

I'm excited to see your bot at Crossroads.

It was an absolute crime that the best robot at Wisconsin and QC didn't make it to the championship! Don't worry though, you wont be cursed by Goat luck this year.
