30 Point Climb Club

[MooreteP]

Add 88, TJ Squared, at Boston.
30 Point Climb, with a dump, twice I think.
Once in the Final match. The crowd went wild.

If anybody you wants to see a good climber match, watch qual 55 from Wisconsin. I don't think the video is up anywhere yet, but I'm sure it will be.
There were 4 outside corner climbing robots. 3 on blue. 1 on red. 4143 (blue) climbed and dumped for 50. 2481 (blue) tried to slow down 1714 (red) because their climb was slower. Both ended up climbing for 30. 1259 (blue) didn't get their climber working until their next qualification match. Or maybe they we were just scared to get on the pyramid . Blue scored 127 and didn't shoot a single teleop disc (except for the 4 pyramid dumps). Match ended with 2 bots at the top of blue and 1 on the top of red.

A side note to climbing teams. Make sure the refs give you the points. There was once where I think they forgot to count the pyramid discs. I don't think it affected anything. When you have to use the belay system on 2 or 3 bots, the field crew has a lot to do.

It's really hard to verify the pyramid discs get counted because differences between the hand count and the scales can shadow the addition of pyramid discs.

I know a least once where they forgot to give climb points. In quarters 2 match 2, blue climbed for 50 points but final match score showed 20 climb points. Our driver went to the question box. The ref acknowledged the mistake, but didn't change anything because the outcome didn't change.

Wisconsin had a ton of great climbers and the crowd loved it. The only thing louder than the crowd cheering a climber to the top, was the groan of a 20 point dismount.

As correctly posted above, TJ2 was able to successfully climb the pyramid and dump for 50 points numerous times throughout the Boston Regional. Even though during Saturday's qualification matches we had climbing trouble, we were gratefully picked by the excellent alliance of 846 and 3137. Our alliance eventually reached the finals to face the unstoppable force of 125, 126 and 1511, where we finally were able to reach the top of the pyramid for the 50 point climb and dump for the first time in the elimination matches. Although we lost the match, we were happy to finally complete our strategy at the most perfect and critical time possible. The recorded live stream of the very exciting finals can be seen here:

(The 30 point climb and dump I mentioned begins at about 19:00)

Great job to all teams that attended. It was, once again, an awesome Boston Regional!

1259 hit the 30 pt climb with the 20 pt dump! We didn't get it working 100% consistently in time for our match with 4143 and 2481, which was disappointing, but we hit it in most of our matches after that with the only exceptions being instances where we were defended and left with no time.

Here is a video of 4143 climbing to the top in 20 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9aeUJRZ8zk

I didn't count the time it takes us to line up. We didn't dump for 20 in this match because the plan was to clog up their loading zone. 2826's feeder jammed in this match so it wasn't as competitive as we were expecting.

My brother Mr. Forbes filmed a climb by team 842 in the semifinals of the Phoenix Regional.

It's the most wonderful thing - it looks like a trapeze artist at work.

Hi guys! I've witnessed a few climbers at the Queen City Regional 2013 matches. I saw quite a few climb to the 30 mark. Our robot also climbed to 30 and dumped 4 Frisbees into the pyramid goal, we made it to the quarterfinals and climbed to 30 both of our rounds successfully. It's really awesome to see all of the teams who've managed to go to all the way to 30!

[MikeE]

As has already been mentioned TJ^2 (FRC 88) got several 30 pt climbs at Boston and dumped Frisbees at least 3 times including in the Finals.

We might also be the only second team so far to dump 4 Frisbees in the top goal but not score any climb points when we fell off the top of the pyramid.

Team 3606 BearMetal climed to 30 points 9 times during qualifacation matches and two more times during elinimation during the Bayou Regionals. We would have climed to 30 points 10 times during qualifacations but we climbed to 10 and let 2992 climb becasue they could dump in the five point goal.

Very true. Fixed above.

[ThunderousPrime]

I am happy to say that my team team 1511 Rolling Thunder joined the 30pt hang club during the Boston Regional. We were able to achieve the climb during various matches including during the quarterfinals (I believe this is correct but am not sure if it was Quarter Match 1 or 2) and Quals 52, 63, 74 and 83. Attached is a picture of a 30pt hang and a picture of the robot, for the climb picture is zoomed out. (I cannot remember what match the hang in the picture was from.)

Team 587 climb to the third level at North Carolina Regional two weeks ago and dumped two times
