Team Update #18

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Guys,
Lets not get crazy. The towers work. There is no complicated issues here. If your minibot can climb the pipe in under five seconds it will trigger the top. If it struggles to get up, then the plate may be able to push back with enough force to stop the minibot and not trigger. I saw more than one minibot over the weekend climb the tower with the drive wheels spinning faster than the climb rate. If the minibot made it to the top, only one was not able to trigger the tower in ten seconds. That one was spinning the tire on the pipe at the top. It was simply a matter of equalized forces. The plate did not move.
