Hey our team is in the process of working on high hanging and i think we have found our design.
What are your guys’ designs for hanging?
Does anyone have videos of their robot hanging?
Our F team’s previous hanging attempt involved extending an arm using linear slides and two high strength motors, then by using circular motion to “hook” onto the top bar. They would then do the process again backwards, to obtain a high hanging status.
Our B and F team’s current hanging attempt involves hooking the side of the ladder (triangular supports), and using circular motion to get above the orange bar. Their weight was leaning towards the ladder, because of the slant; therefore, they did not need any mechanism to lock themselves in place (winches, hooks, etc…) However, this only obtained a low hanging status.
They are working on a much different approach as of now…
Didn’t feel like retyping everything so here is a link to my thread. Click Here 
look at the post A NEW TYPE OF HANG that is how my team hung 2 weekends ago and it was very consistent it hung 5 times out of 6 matches the first time they had connection issues to the vexnet not the ladder

I just took this video of team 822 (not us) low hanging from under the ladder.
Winch design with a detachable hook. Took 20-30 seconds to hang without all the pausing that we did because we were explaining to a judge how it worked. That was a low hang, but it has hung high before.
I thought 1114z could go under the ladder?
At the Southern Ontario competition in December 1114z was able to go under the ladder. In the videos that I saw of them they didn’t have a scoring mechanism, but they were able to high hang. They may have built a successful scoring mechanism, but I don’t think that we will know until the World Championship at Orlando.
