Re: Climbing Mechanism Ideas
We were considering having an inchworm type climber on the corner pole, with a rack and pinion on a worm drive, with something to kick your robot out and over the knuckles. However, the issue is that you cannot contact anywhere in zone two until you are off the floor, which is zone zero, since you can only contact two zones at a time.
IN regards to the controls, we could have two BIG red buttons (out of arms reach from each other, and with flip covers to prevent accidental activation) with glowing lights, and when the robot begins its climb (which we will automate for the purpose of time, this is an actual plan, since manual operation of the climber will be difficult), we could have a light show on the robot, just for fun.
