Re: Team Driven Week 2, With Climb

It's reassuring to note how similar our approach to climbing is... phew

Good luck in your build.

The "robot" the people are simply there to control the pneumatics it and catch it incase of a fall.

Re: Team Driven Week 2, With Climb

Glad to see another team having success with the corner climbing method.

We have a prototype that works now, but refining it to work well will be a challenge.

Re: Team Driven Week 2, With Climb

Your approach is similar to ours but with some key differences. Just a suggestion for other teams still noodling on this: the closer you can get your pneumatic cylinders into the same plane as the edge you are climbing (60 degrees from the floor) the less strength they will need and the less stress it will put on the robot frame.
