For now Youtube only shows it as 480p but in a few hours it will be up to full HD (1080p).

That was a very cool video.
Well done guys.

How does the robot rotate itself at the top to become parallel to the ground? Simply amazing. I can't wait to see it compete in week 1.

We use a small explosion between the pyramid and rob- just kidding. We use two Bag motors geared 300:1 on each side of a (large) axle that holds the whole climber and robot up; turn the motors and the robot flips over.

Awesome motion graphics and a stunning machine! This is a really cool corner climber.
