Finally finishing up rev. 3 of the robot design this year. (First year including a custom dual output WC gear box and custom WC Chassis.) Final should be done within the next couple days. Just have to add on bumper attachments and tweak a little things. So excited for this year! Plan on attacking all defenses, shooting high goal, and scaling the tower. See you at Little Rock and Smokey Mountain Regional.

Is the checkered black/white stuff carbon fiber?
Are the shooter and climber integrated as a single unit?

Looks pretty sweet. How do you plan to store enough air at high enough pressure to scale the tower with that honkin' cylinder?

matthewdennyYou also can run the extension and contraction ports of the cylinder at different pressures. You probably only need any substantial force in one direction.

Have you considered extending a part of your shooting arm outside the frame perimeter to use as a manipulator? You could start the shooter in a vertical position to remain inside the frame perimeter during auton. I feel like an extension with a hook at the end would have a bunch of capabilities: opening Sally Port, lowering the Cheval the Frise, pulling the drawbridge down etc. What kind of gear ratio are you running to lift the arm? It looks like 2 cims in some pretty stacked versa planetaries.

I'm not quite understanding how the hook rotate up? It looks like the cylinder just pushes the end out and the hooks don't have anything to pivot on...
