Re: pic: CIA 291 Robot Reveal
In the linked video, it was 9 seconds from motor activation to the touchpad activation. As you guys tune your climber and go into your matches, make sure you account for this! It is precious time taken off of your gear cycles. As a gear specialist ourselves, the whole act of climbing is something we found to be very important. You may be able to improve the time with just a knot at the right height.
It looks really good! |

And we have accounted for 10 seconds to hang at the end of the match. That was our first climb test, so we wanted to be gingerly with it. We will have the knot higher and just drive right into it in a match |

I agree completely with Jesse you may be better off with a monkey fist knot as soon as you spin onto the knot it should hook.

Re: pic: CIA 291 Robot Reveal
What kind of rope have you settled on? Have you checked to make sure you can activate the touchpad before hitting the davit channel? From where I can see it could go either way.

Re: pic: CIA 291 Robot Reveal
As of now we are using a thinner solid braid rope. The vertical struts are meant to activate the touchpad, but we still have a lot of testing to do, and it's hard to be sure without an actual touchpad to try it on. If we do find that to be a problem, we are still a few inches under the 24" limit in the back, so we could add longer struts if we need to.

Apologies then I am colorblind I may have missed the knot. See you in week 3!

Re: pic: CIA 291 Robot Reveal
Our practice robot is also coming along nicely! We plan on having the gear scorer on it, but not the winch as there is plenty of time for climb testing before bag day.

Re: pic: CIA 291 Robot Reveal
Hello, I am with team 2544, your lovely neighbor from Harborcreek. I am wondering about the gear shoot. Is it a pilot pull up or a drop off?

What is the gearing on your climber?

Re: pic: CIA 291 Robot Reveal
Our team was having a difficult time determining how to attach our bumpers and I really liked your usage of wingnuts. How quickly would you estimate you are able to remove and replace your bumpers currently?

Re: pic: CIA 291 Robot Reveal
This is our first year doing one piece bumpers, but so far they are great! We do not have all of the brackets attached for the bumpers yet, but right now one person can put the bumper on very quickly ( I haven't timed it, but I would guess under a minute). We have a bolt sticking up that is permanently mounted to the frame, and the holes on the brackets on the bumper line up with them, so a wrench is not required to tighten the wing nut. I can post a picture after practice tonight.
