Photo taken by a ref of the entire robot being lifted into the air by the buddy climb
Video of the first time that the climb worked during competition.
This is the Behind the bumpers from the first event that the climb worked. My explanations start at 1:10.
This is the video where I presented the idea of the climb to the FUN show. My explaination starts at 12:10
From the 7407 Technical Binder 2023
We started off the process with some engineering analysis. We calculated the forces that would go through the system during a climb. We settled on carbon fiber for a factor of safety of 2.
This is the motion study of the climb, where I tested how it would fit on the robot, what movements it would have, and the dimensions needed.
I CADed this "crayon" version of the climb, with all the basic parts
Finished CAD ready for manufacturing
