Congrats to all teams for getting through this build season. We can't wait to play Stronghold and look forward to seeing all of your creations.

[Kyler Hagler]

Holy Cow! Awesome job guys. You continue to impress and inspire. Congrats on an awesome bot.

Another top tier team going down low....

That grappling hook is amazing also!

Mind blown

[Mr.Paulson]

Yep....that's a good robot. Would expect nothing less. Nice work!

Love the scaling device always a robot that inspires the robotics community

[P.J.]

One of my favorite teams and consistently my favorite reveal video every season.

It's impressive enough now, but when you can shoot over and tackle the REAL JJ Watt that'll be something to see

[Navid Shafa]

Was wondering what Einstein play was going to look like

Sick of that guy. First it's his cabin, now he's playing defense for 118? He's definitely "Rise and grind guy".

I'm really confused on the specific rules, but aren't grappling hooks not allowed?

When confused by the rules its often best to read through them again and see if you can find a specific rule that would outlaw something. In this case no there is not specific rule that makes this climb illegal. Their our general safety rules and rules about grappling other robots but if 118 takes measures to ensure the safety of the field and all people around the field it should be ruled legal.

I see, I read the rules and it just seemed unclear weather or not grappling could be used to climb. It does look safe, but it does say no grappling with exceptions to special field elements I think. That's what confused me. Otherwise super genius idea
