since it's worth so many points, my team focused on climbing this year. but we couldn't find a pyramid climber ANYWHERE! we checked AndyMark, McMaster-Carr, and even FIRST Choice, but no one had them for sale. where did you get them?!?

right now our robot is literally a rectangle frame with wheels. if we can't get a climber tonight we're doomed.

What do you mean where did we get the climber? We made the climbing mechanism.

Our climbing mechanism is composed of two pneumatic actuators with two metal hooks on the end. They are encased in aluminum tubing that is mounted to the frame. The cylinders are from Bimba, but sadly they take a long time to ship.

This video will explain it at 2:20

Best of luck!

The shooter is pretty good. We plan on shooting from under the pyramid or right by it depending on what kind of defense we are facing.

Obvious troll is obvious.
