Looks good! Do you have enough room to use the same size sprocket at the top and bottom? It looks like the chain gets tighter close to the bottom of travel (and looser at the top).
we do have room, however we are leaving it as is for now. it doesn’t tighten up too terribly and having a smaller sprocket gives us a little more force. a lot of the issue with it could be resolved with better alignment of the axle
in 2013 we went for a climber-only robot, and found that later in the season we were kicking ourselves. The climber has a fixed point value, of 9 or 16 points this year. Shooting can be optimized over the season to increase the point yield. Maybe this is what you meant, but a low goal shooter/dumper could be incredibly strong, I would suggest starting with a level 2 climb and a low goal shooter/dumper. I suspect that is what the 118 everybot will be
Will have enough room to fit the ball handler/shooter and have the elevator arm lean forward?
we think we can make it work but it’s going to be very very tight. and its’s going to be difficult to find space for our electronics

Which bar is this designed to climb to?
Starts at the mid rung with the elevator. goal is to get to the high rung
noice
Still deciding weither to go for the rungs or make a ball shooter, incredible work
