So I was watching some pikes peak matches then I saw pronounce this climb and it’s incredible I’m just wondering how the climb works

We are good friends with P.T., and the way it works is they have a two stage lift with a piece of metal or a stand-off at the end. They than just pull their blocker down, as if they were folding it. Since the blocker cannot go down, the robot raises. I think they have a 4 piston lift just because the speed and power is greater than 2 pistons.

They used a winch (which is probably hooked up to their drive) instead of pneumatics, even 4 pistons wouldn’t be enough to raise a robot that high.

Correct, I was at the event and you could see that they used a PTO to connect their drive to their lift.
