Is the big wheel solid, with a concave outer profile, or is it just an under-inflated tire?
Could you automate the climbing sequence for faster speed?
Yes it is solid, made out of some kind of plastic. We were thinking about automating the sequence so that at competition we would look awesome just standing back not touching the controller with our arms crossed.

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!

If you automate it, I strongly recommend including a safety switch - force one of your drivers to hold a button or trigger down while it climbs, and if they let go it stops where it is until they push it again. That'll let you easily stop it if something goes wrong, instead of standing there watching it climb to its doom.

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I was talking to the mentors and we decided against automating it. There are many factors at play.

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!

How difficult is it to align? Especially from 30+ feet away and the risk of touching non-sequential zones with those hooks.

Nothing. It just rolls. The arms propel the robot upward. Nothing else.

We are going to be using a camera to line the bot up. Otherwise it isn't. The distance does affect how well we can see the hooks though. We were wondering if we could take binoculars down to the playing field.

Re: 30 point climb!!!!!!!!!

Nice! Our team got to the second rung, but we changed our design to guarantee the 10 points for the first rung instead. Our first design was very similar to yours, but we had technical issues.
