That’s a very well thought out design. If you are going to emulate another robot, then emulate the best :slight_smile:

Ive seen a lot of teams with that sort of climber. Any idea where they all got this idea from?

How does the intake synchronize? I see a pneumatic cylinder powering it, but can’t spot what mechanism keeps it synchronized so that the 2 wheels stay symetrical.

This intake is awesome and the robot looks great. Best of luck from 599!

By far one of my top 3 favorite robots this year, possible even my favorite. Absolutely beautiful, and the double intake is genius. Really some phenomenal work.

Wow, that multi function mechanism is amazing. What kind of wheels are you using to grab the hatch pannels?

Straight Flex Wheel (3" OD x 1" WD, 1-1/8" ID, 30A) 217-6447, You can get them from Vex or The Robot Space.

Interesting intake

Love the deployable arm to increase leverage on your climber
