Hey! Not precisely true! We're prototyping for both level one and level three designs!

On another note, perhaps a dual engagement version of 2056's 2010 climbing mechanism would work. The first "climber" contacts the module, and the robot is lifted to vertical (or maybe so that the side of the robot is roughly parallel to the side pole, rolls up to the first bump, at which point the second set engages above the bump and the first stage disengages. Repeating this process would lead to a "hand-over-hand" approach to climbing the side.

Of course, balance would be a possible issue here...

Challenges like this are what makes FIRST so fun!
