This is awesome! Can't wait to see you do it without spotters and faster. Will you be "dumping" any discs in the pyramid goal?

Cool. It is tricky aligning to the corner for a straight climb. How have you solved that challenge?

Camera mounted over the jaws.

What the size of the frame perimeter? It looks like its way bigger than 112", but maybe I'm just seeing things.

Can you post it to youtube or some other way so that those of us who have facebook blocked from school can see it? Thanks. I can't wait to see it. We are working on our climber from the corners as well. My students will be excited to see someone who accomplished it. Great job.

That is the plan.

Very stoked to see this in person.

Looks like a pretty awesome way to climb. Guess that's another one of the climbs checked off. So far, we have the first 30 pt climb, the first corner climb, and now the first second end over end climb.

Good job guys. I have not seen anyone climb end over end. So is this all your bot can do? and IF you can you mught want to add a final locking arm incase you lose power when at the top.

Looks great guys can't wait to see it in competition at Hartford this year!

The perimeter is exactly 111.5" around. It was measured by multiple people. The locking arm idea would be great if the system wasn't using pneumatic cylinders to lock on the pole. The system will hold as long as there is pressure in the system, and we've checked our system multiple times already.
