It looks amazing both in concept and implementation. I love how the rotating arm can be used both to aim the frisbees, get into/out-of starting configuration, gets you to the feeder slot, AND is integral to the climb. very impressive!

what motors are you going to use for the climb? (assuming the two CIM on the arm are for rotating the arm)

The only part we could not prototype was the climbing. Too much effort taken away from the rest of it. So we don't know if it will work. Bit of a gamble really. Chose 2013 kit bot chassis, so we don't waste time on chassis design. Oh and did I tell you we are building two. It will be really cool if it works, sad if if doesn't. We got our fingers crossed!
