Team 4418 is proud to have built a working climber this season. With its custom 1:45 mini-CIM gearbox and unique pneumatic rope acquisition mechanism it works quickly and consistently.
There is some really cool stuff in the bag that’s not on our practice bot; we can’t wait to try it all out at the Colorado Regional!
That’s really cool guys! I can’t tell from the video, how does your rope go from clamped to winding? Or does your drum turn and it just kinda works? Also, the fact that you’ve made a climber drum that looks to be only a couple inches wide is really impressive.
Very cool! It’s nice to see a non-velcro climber that looks just as effective, if not more effective!
Be careful of shearing that strap on the Davit though. That’s why we are using a rope.
