Re: Climbing Mechanism Ideas

One idea, assuming you can work with the size constraints involved, is to drive under the pyramid and using a bot that has some kind of tower tilted to the angle of the side rails, latch on to the side rail using three actuated hooks and have powered wheels on the inside of the rail to ride up. As you reached the part where the rungs mee the rail, you could just actuate on hook at a time to get over it. ... Maybe?
