Re: Climbing Mechanism Ideas

It seems like a lot of ideas require claws or grippers which do not rotate on the pipe. Would a pipe wrench mechanism work in this situation? It would allow you to pivot your robot up in one direction without rotating back due to your center of gravity. I don't know if it would properly grip the pyramid or if it would damage the pipes, but perhaps someone could test this. (I say someone and not me because I am just an alum and my team doesn't want to climb past lvl 1).
