#teamtether club

[Caleb Sykes]

Who's in the club? Post video and/or pictures if you have any.

148 is the club founder, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have inspired some other teams to build tetherbots with their withholding allowances.

At Lake Superior, 2177 added a tether ramp to aid in loading from the feeder station.

Additionally, 1657 has a tetherbot named Fetchy that grabs RCs for Stretchy.

True - ours was a tethered design since sometime late in week one...

I should have been more clear. By 148 is the founder, I meant that they were the first team to publicly reveal a tetherbot. Additionally, I believe they were the first to use the sign #teamtether.

Obviously many teams were developing tethered systems before 148s reveal, and I didn't mean to take anything away from them.

I'm aware of two tote ramp-type tetherbots out here, could be more (and more coming). 1197 and 3408 both deployed ramps at Inland Empire on the last day (Sunday).

For the teams that have powered tetherbots, I've seen a couple of different casings for the wires. I am curious to know what kind of materials are being used for this, and how well you or your partners can drive over it.

We may be joining the club soon, as we're working on integrating an active tether connected to a stationary lift near the feeding station. If things go as planned, we'll likely use it next at Virginia regional.

The winning alliance at MAR Springside-Chestnut Hill consisted of team 225, 1218, and 204. 204 included a tethered ramp lovingly called the "robox" or "Eugene".

We were on #TeamTether at Alamo. The best part about our setup was the tether itself...to say that the robots had problems would be an understatement, but we had fun, nonetheless, & needless to say, plenty of lessons learned!

Will continue iterating for TRR

Team 2881 also had a tethered ramp at the Alamo Regional.
