FAQ
How much does the Everybot weigh?
110 pounds with ballast.
Do hits cause the Roller Claw to drop notes?
From our testing the note will not be dropped from robot to robot collisions.
How does the Everybot stay climbed after the match?
We found that the Everybot climber did not backdrive when holding the robot with a CIM in brake mode and a 64:1 gearbox, no rachet mechanism required.
What ratio is good for the climber gearbox?
We are comfortable recommending any ratio between 50:1 - 75:1 on a STOCK 110lb (without battery or bumpers) Everybot. A lower ratio may not be able to lift the robot or hold it up without a rachet wrench. A higher ratio will climb slower and could cause damage to the robot. If you are having trouble selecting a ratio we recommend using 64:1.
Is the ballast required?
If you want to get Onstage (climb), then yes. Without the ballast the robot will tip towards the roller claw + launcher and the front bumper will touch the ground when the climber is fully retracted.
Roller Claw?
Yes, Roller Claw.
