I have only seen one other team with a similar system. But unfortunately they would lose tension and it it would slowly fall back down.

And I think 2826 climbed too but I don't remember how good it was.

Overall I give anyone props for trying. It wasn't easy.

You forgot the best one of all SWAG

To echo this, while not one of the flashier hangers, 2122's consistency in hanging was incredible.

If we got ours working, it would have been amazing. Yet cuts for weight had to be made.

1538 hands down had one of the best climbs I saw this season. It was fast and reliable plus they hit the high goal dunk after they climbed.

25 had a pretty good one. If I remember correctly, they hung every match except for the infamous Curie Q111.

Has 179 really not been mentioned yet? That was my favorite. They could basically score their robot they were so high up, and their climb looked amazing.

IN Favorites:
1501- looked like a really cool arm. It looked like a claw reaching for the bar and the *click* of success when it finally latches on.

71- Had a great scale from the start. It was something they very rarely failed at. (P.S., it was fun working with you at state champs. I also enjoyed saying yes finally )

234- our team finally scaled. That red scissor lift looked really cool. Plus it was fun seeing our driver walk across the whole driver station area to watch it hook on.

135- All I can say is candy cane. It looked great going up.

292- It was never a pretty finish. It always looked like your bot was crooked and was about to fall off. None the less, it worked and that's why it was one of my favorites. It doesn't have to look pretty to work. (Plus your wench holder was pretty cool too

868- Literally the first time I saw you climb, I thought you broke your climber. The fact that your arm breaks in half (looks like it does at least) every time your scale made it look cool.

4103- I first saw that scaler at the pre season event at 1741's place. It was a nice scissor lift.

3176- It was really cool seeing you guys work on it in the pits to it working on the field at state. I was really glad to see you climb.

I bet I missed an IN bot somewhere. That's all I can think of for now. I'll edit if I think of any more. To say the least, great job IN teams on scaling.

P.S. I was waiting all year for 1024 to turn your portcullis and cheval de frise mechanism into a scaler. I have no idea if that was ever apart of your plans but I figured that would have been the best place for it for a 179 type scaler.

For optimal swagginess never forget 4060.

[Fusion_Clint]

We may not have been the best, but we were consistent at Rocket City and in the Hopper Division.

My favorite this year was 1619's scaler. They only used it when they had to, so they were probably one of the more underrated scaling teams. When they were doing well, they went up very fast.

3647 Had a pretty loud and big scaler

There was 118.

And then everyone else, including the copycats.
