Re: Climbing Mechanism Ideas

Responding to dheerm here. Maybe I am missing something with this climber idea. But when you start the climb and leave the ground you cannot be touching that second horizontal rung. So doesn't your robot just swing outwards and become vertical again? We've been toying with ideas along this line for two days and cannot see how to reliably keep the bot from kicking back out vertical once you leave the ground (and therefore touch the ground again - which prevents you from grabbing that second rung).
