Designing a climbing mechanism for 2013... a humbling experience

[eedoga]

I feel everyone's pain. Our team uses community voting to choose which design we are going to build, and the community overwhelmingly selected the robot that climbs the pyramid...We have run into one nightmare after another each which required an almost complete redesign. Our current solution will hopefully work, but it counts on a number of subsystems working relatively perfectly so that the whole thing doesn't just bind up.

The new perimeter constraints coupled with the high level of complexity in our design men we are pushing the limits on what our team is capable of on a number of different levels.

Here is to having it all come together.
