I didn't think of that. Even if we used a top heavy robot, it would just keep spinning till it fell. Unless maybe this robot was designed so perfectly that the conveyor belt with hooks on it immediately grabbed the second rung the moment the robot was lifted off the ground then maybe it could work.
