THIS!

Also this video is awesome. Looking forward to seeing the whole bot at Wisconsin.

Thanks, Tyler! Virtual bro-fist to you and your team. We're also very much looking forward to seeing what Wave brings to Wisconsin to defend their blue banner from 2012. Best of luck to you guys!

Looks like Wisconsin's going to be fun.

I'm pretty sure that 90% of what their mechanism is can be dictated from what they have shown us already. I feel like the entire thing is pretty obvious but that might just be me.

Certainly this is not a completely unique idea, but their implementation of it appears to be fantastic.

Are those .125" steel hooks? What'd you have designed for the "spring" as they pass over the bar, or is it just deformation of the metal itself? If the sound in the background and my ear is correct, it sounds like you're running this on a pneumatic system - what sized bore and stroke are you using? If I took a guess, based off the math we did, you're using somewhere between a 25-30" stroke, 1.25 - 1.5" bore cylinder to climb. Are the stages human controlled or is the climb largely autonomous?
All in all, great video!

PS - I like the mini pyramid in the background. Good testing ground?

[AllenGregoryIV]

This is awesome. We have a mini pvc pyramid as well.

Glad to see someone is going up the corner.

[Andrew Zeller]

Congratulations on achieving this incredible feat. You just made me all the more fearful of the competition at the Wisconsin Regional this year.

I like how the title on your team website says: "Raising The Bar And Climbing Higher"

[XaulZan11]

Awesome video.

As another 1732's Strategy Team's mentor said, "this does not surprise me at all." We are expecting another top notch robot from 2481. Hopefully, you guys make the Championship this year.

I'm looking forward to seeing it at Wisconsin!

I'm curious as to the solution to traversing the corner gussets.

[Wildcats1378]

Wow! This is the first climbing video that I've been impressed with. I really like the spring loaded hooks. Are you using pneumatics or something like a really fast lead screw?

In any case, really cool.

[Garrett.d.w]

Ours is very similar, at least I think so. I'll try and have a vid up later this week. We just got our key parts today (after weeks of backorder)


Good luck, can't wait for the reveal to confirm my suspicions.

[BigJ]

I've also got my suspicions as to how this works. Let's just say I've seen some similar ideas over the course of the season Can't wait to see it in WI.

[Mike Marandola]

Wow! that's awesome

Its almost scary how choose this system is to ours so if the rest is close, I haves pretty good idea about it...think Dean Kamen. (at least, for our solution he applies)
