Do you have clearance for the top of the pyramid? The corners go vertical right above the 3rd rung for about a foot to the pyramid goal. Since you're only on level 2 here, it's hard to tell, but you might run into the pyramid goal. Just something to check...

Another 30pt climbing robot at Wisconsin?! I am excited to see this design in action at your test run on Saturday.

That is sure a nice 20 point climb.

Will you be able to get to the 30 pointer?

This was one of the final hurdles with our design that we ended up abandoning. Just another infuriating wrench in the corner climb strategy.

80/20(T-slot) has great modularity but is heavy. I love seeing it, but I'm curious as to what size it is and how much it weighs. Our robot is about 70 pounds, a huge record for us.

We can definitely get 10, we should be able to get 20 and 30 points and dumping in the top is TBD.

We look forward to having you! Hopefully, we'll have a 50 point climber/dumper too.

As said above, 20 looks good, 30 is TBD.

~95 lbs frame + 11 lbs electronics (not mounted in picture) = 106 lbs

Size is around 29" (side to side) * 26" (back to front) * 39" (height)

Re: pic: 1306 Pyramid Test

I wish we had a 50pt dumper - we are going with an instant 10pt hanging design. I meant to say with 2481 and 1306 there could be at least two 30pt climbing robots at the Wisconsin Regional. And we haven't even seen what the other notable (16, 71, 111, 2826) teams will be bringing.
