Am I seeing that wrong?

I am seeing it the same way you are. To me, it looks illegal; they look to be touching the Ground + Level 1 + Level 2, all at the same time.

Can someone make a sublist of Climb/Dump teams that will be at CMP?

We (Team 3309) we're able to improve our times and consistency a lot in Las Vegas. We were averaging about 25 seconds for a 30 point climb and dump. In this particular match, we were about (a little under?) 30 seconds from the time we started.

Has anyone joined the dump but no climb club?

1023 made a climb but fell off in their first match at one district.

I have watched a number of robots try and shoot colored discs from the ground (3003, 51 among others) I have seen none of them score all four of them. We managed to get 1/4 at Buckeye and will be taking another crack at it in St. Louis.

In fact, this brings up the interesting question of why the GDC gave us 6 colored discs. Has anyone managed to score all 6 of them?

The only use I can think of is if there were two climb and dumpers on an alliance. Shooting them from the ground makes no sense as an entire cycle for only 2 more discs is silly.

558 is the only team I've seen do it. They once got all 4 from the floor, but they got at least two or three pretty repeatably at WPI.

3309 was a very impressive climber + dumper at Vegas, as was 4146.

25 was able to do 20 point climbs during matches, and 30 point climbs on the practice field. In the playoffs they came out sporting an interesting looking mechanism that might be worth watching at the World Championship.

It looks like the "stick" is pushing on the pyramid foot, which is level 0. I think that part is fine. However when climbing to level 3 it appears that they are pushing on the level 1 bar and contacting the level 3 bar.

From what I saw of 236's hanger, despite how it looks the black leadscrew is neither touching the ground at level 0 or the corner at level 1. It is not pushing off of anything. There are hooks pulling on the corner as with almost every other corner climber this year.

1619 was able to climb and dump this weekend. They took a few spills, but the damage never seemed fatal. The climb was somewhere in the range of 20 seconds, but the lineup time was sometimes over a minute, or couldn't be fit into a match.

Need climb times:

It's about 25 seconds from the time our hooks engage the level 1 bar to dumping in the top while on level 2.

Depends on when you start your timing. This footage from the finals in Calgary shows us climbing and dumping in closer to 20s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg-FHOqJBJM
