Climbing Speed Ranking

[skupitup]

If you time the climb as 254 does in their video where the timer is started when the robot first lifts off the ground, team 1334 has a 15 second climb and dump scene in this video:

line-up is still slower than 1114 (getting faster), but if you count the time to take to dump, 1334 is faster than 1114, watch this video where we race them up the pyramid, we are simply waiting there on top while 1114 unloads their disks:

This consistency, mixed with an okay schedule, landed them 4th place before alliance selections.

They teamed up with 1241 and 1325 to make for a killer combo to take them to the semi finals where they met their demise to the hands of 1310 (finalists at Waterloo), Peacock, and of course the "Smoothest Climber", 1334.

We're going to see a lot of 30pt and even 50pt climbers in the finals matches of each division at champs.

2013 can climb in 20 seconds (excluding line up time). Line up can sometimes take up to 10 seconds.

Right now all the video I have from Pine Tree is a POV video of our common 20 second climb. We did do an 18 second climb but went back to the 20 second it was safer.

The reason being is that ALL of our climbing is autonomous and we currently don't have angle feedback and there were moments where our arm could begin lifting before the piston to raise the hook had fully extended. At each level we waited 1-2 seconds to ensure all systems "go" before ascending to the next level.

For champs we are adding angle feedback so we can eliminate those 4-6 seconds and make our climb much smoother.

For now enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=322fpSkMOr4

EDIT: For reference our entire climber weighs 15lbs and uses 1 CIM motor and 1 pnuematic piston.

1334's climb and dump made them the single most powerful robot at WCR. They have a great bot this year.
