Is the checkered black/white stuff carbon fiber?
Are the shooter and climber integrated as a single unit?

Looks pretty sweet. How do you plan to store enough air at high enough pressure to scale the tower with that honkin' cylinder?

We have done the math and we can put 5 black clippard accumulator tanks at 100psi and we will be perfectly fine to run the piston both in and out without needing any air. We also have an air compressor filling the accumulators on the bot.

I just checked your math at 120psi, and it looks like you're good for exactly one pop- make sure you don't miss the bar! At that point, is there even a reason to use an compressor, though? You won't rebuild air nearly fast enough to be able to get enough pressure for a second actuation, and you can drop some weight if you don't have it on-board.

Yes that is correct on the carbon fiber. And yes the shooter and climber are integrated. When the shooter goes straight up when on platform it already got us half way up to the rung so we decided to add a 20" piston and the hooks. The piston closes and will lift the bumpers above low goal
