We did not have enough space to make it far enough away at the time.

I will post a video soon of our robot doing full speed cycles!

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!

Thanks!

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

Re: pic: CIA 291 Robot Reveal

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.

We were using a monkey fist knot in the video, but have since changed it to a different, flatter knot that works just as well with our climber. I call it the triangle knot. It is flatter, because we had a problem with the rope wrapping around the ~1" monkey knot and stalling the winch because the effective diameter became too big. The new knot fixed this perfectly though.

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.

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.

Re: pic: CIA 291 Robot Reveal

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?
