Go to Post It is not necessary to draw 200 amps to move a robot through a two minute match. Rule of thumb is you robot should be able to compete for three matches without a battery change. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]

Re: Using a grappling hook to climb the tower

Our team decided that a grappling hook was too hard to aim, to slow to reset after a miss, and potentially too dangerous to be an option. You might disagree but our primary concern was lifting ourselves from other robots, we want precise aiming so we can prevent our hook/claw from grabbing undesired parts of our ally.
