Frisbee Launcher.
It's a bit too big for a robot, though.

Exclamation Re: Official Ultimate Ascent Thread!

Has anyone been able to find the frisbee product online or at any store? the Part is a Wham-O Frisbee Super Flyer, Item number 53214. I am unable to find it anywhere except for on wham-o.com, and I can't even buy it there. I tried contacting there Customer Service, but it is closed.

Hmm,
The rungs are at 30", 60", 90"
The absolute max robot height is 84"

If a CLIMB is considered unacceptable (e.g. a ROBOT has touched non-adjacent Levels or more than two (2) Levels at a time), a Referee will indicate a rejected CLIMB by turning the offending ROBOT’S PLAYER STATION LED strings yellow. The ROBOT will be ineligible for CLIMB points unless and until it begins a new CLIMB from the floor, Level 0.
The ground counts as a level, so a robot must lift itself off the ground using the level 1 bar before going for the level 2 bar

Re: Official Ultimate Ascent Thread!

So after looking through the manual a few times, I haven't seen anything that would prevent the following strategy:

1. Collect 4 colored disks.
2. climb (sequentially) to the top of your pyramid
3. score disks into pyramid goal
4. retrieve falling disks from beneath goal
5. repeat steps 3&4 till the game ends
6. profit???

Re: Official Ultimate Ascent Thread!

Why are some discs colored (6 blue discs and 6 red discs 90 white disks) can you only score with your own color?

You can only score in the top pyramid goal with your own colored disks. I am not sure if you can also use them on the other goals.
