Climb and Dump Club

[StormN]

Chris is me is correct, the Team 236 robot tail ( inner rails and lead screw assembly ) never touches the carpet it is suspended by a hook at the top of the device,so upon docking we are touching the 30 horizontal bar (zone 1 ) and the floor (zone 0) we never contact the vertical bar above zone 1. As soon as the bot clears the floor we are only in contact with zone 1 until the outer hooks grab the 60" horizontal bar, we are now in contact with zone 1 and 2. we now drag the tail until the hook grabs the 60" bar and only in contact with zone 2. Repeat all of above to score 30 points.

Sir Edmund, of 2170, climbed and dumped in QF4-1 of the CT Regional between 57 and 34 seconds remaining. (= approx 24 sec.) There were several bobbles in it, so the potential for faster climbing is there. Alignment time was not great either. We have a camera on board, but I'm not sure how useful it is for alignment. This climb attracted the attention of the opposing alliance, who intervened effectively in the second match to frustrate our driver's attempt to get to the pyramid.

Steampunk 1577's robot, Torpedo, scores to the pyramid goal without climibing. You can watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBCLLfyAecA at 1:28.
You can also come to see us on our pit, we will compete in the Championship in St. Louis.

We became extremely cautious in aligning after falling from the 3rd level (and all we broke was a machine screw!) I wish we took more opportunities to dump discs, but we changed our strategy after our second tumble: We'd get discs from the feeder station, but an opposing team would wait at the midfield for us to cross, then ram us (causing a minimum of the discs to fly out of the presenter, or at worst, a tipped 'bot). This was a very fun season, falls notwithstanding.

Took 23 seconds for 3 discs, if we had 1 more second the 4th would have shot.

Have done it as quick as 21 seconds in previous matches with 3 discs, when the 4 disc did not get loaded.

Settle at 22-24 seconds?

First time I saw the fall from that side of the field. Having never seen two bots at in the 30 point range, people asked "what is the worst that could happen" My reply was we could both fall off the tower and land on 33. SO glad only one of us fell and that we did not land on 33

Though a few times they only did a 20 pt climb, Team 358 (SBPLI Chaisman's Winners and Regional Champions), The Happauge Robotic Eagles, could climb for 30 pts and dump for an additional 20. I'd say it was a rather impressize machine to watch.

Comparing this thread to the list of teams registered for CMP at this time indicates the following climb and dump robots at CMP (with reported climb time):

67 (21)
88 (45)
95 (50)
103
190
236 (30)
358
1114 (20)
1334 (30)
1421 (30)
1448 (50)
1714
1806 (25)
1918 (30)
2481 (40)
3339 (60)
4451 (30)

This thread identifies 35 climb/dump robots. I'd say 16/35 is a pretty good success rate.

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:
http://watchfirstnow.com/archive3.php?id=63000921

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:
http://watchfirstnow.com/archive3.php?id=63005133

I would say that our whole climbing sequence is around 20 seconds, not 30, 15+5 as we do take a couple seconds to tilt the robot to the correct angle before we lift off the ground.

1421' s fastest climb and dump time is 21 seconds. That time was made at the Razorback Regional!

1421's climb and dump time is 21 seconds just to let you know!!

Team 1448's climb and dump is now 29-35 seconds

[blujackolantern]

Team 1810 can be added to the list, we were in curie, but often did not get noticed. We had a three point shoot in autonomous, but we often only made 2 of the 3 discs. Our climb took some time, but it had more to do with the fact that we ended up making our climb autonomous, as in we programmed it so our drivers would just get under the pyramid, press a button, and our robot would climb and dump.
