[a15eac9a00a0e5e0d29da297ce2943e1_l.jpg] Checking the fit of our robot on the pyramid earlier tonight. Our robot didn’t climb up there, we just set it. Tomorrow the electronics get mounted “permanently” and we climb for real. Should be fun!

As always, the deadline is nominally Sunday at midnight Eastern.

Go!

The smile is the smile of someone who knows that it works in theory, but has never seen it work in practice.
“It’ll be fineeee…”

[TheRealJamesOo]

Well we dug the old 2013 bot out of storage to try it in 2022…. What do we do now

[jaredhk]

The last time Abbott sponsored an event with robots climbing between rungs, they were trying to get their name out there. Unfortunately, Abbott won’t be sponsoring this year’s game with rungs since… well… they need some time to catch up.

[EricH]

They’re laughing now. But back in 2013, it wasn’t funny.

[GaryVoshol]

Disabled half way up the pyramid when the bumper fell off.

[cgmv123]

That face when you figure out an incredibly difficult endgame.

< NPOE >We weren’t even close to figuring it out. < /NPOE >

[Wayne_Doenges]

Why did the robot stop climbing?
Apparently it’s afraid of heights.

[Osby]

One small step for man, one giant leap for robotics.

[GeeTwo]

Let’s just send a couple of freshmen out to do this at the end of the match!

[quin]

“If the robot can think it can do it then it will do it for us. Then all we need to do is to make the robot think.”
