Yeah more specs or description would be nice. I really don't know what that rope system at the top of the robot does. Deploys your feeder station slide?

Changing the orientation of the discs seems odd if you don't floor collect but maybe it was just a space problem.

Any more details? Either way we'll see in a couple weeks at Lone Star it's going to be a great event.

What no one yet has spied a 1 inch wide tape measure rising from the center top of the robot. They aren't measuring the height of air are they

Clearly 935 isn't the only one who doesn't trust what height FIRST says the rungs are at

It is not a tape measure. It is a cleverly disguised hook ascension deployment (aka HAD) system disguised as a tape measure. The HAD places the hook on the bar to which is attached the cable, which is in turn attached to the winch which facilitates the 2nd level climb. It is Rube Goldberg approved! Yes, there are LEGOs involved.

Our team is curious on how you cased your tape measure to keep it from exploding. We made two custom cases that took four hours to manufacture by CNC each.

[Bertman]

Simple, we didn't. It is still in it's original case.

That's how I'd have done it. And a pair of sticky rollers to pinch it and extend and retract it?

[Bertman]

You got it plus another to set the angle
