Re: Designing a climbing mechanism for 2013... a humbling experience

After pounding our head at it a few days, we have 2 designs that we think are within our team's fabrication abilities. I would argue that only one of them is simple but that is an opinion. We're building prototypes of them now and won't know how truly well they work until probably Tuesday next week.

I think "simple" is a relative term for the 30 point climb. A "simple" mechanism for climbing could still have quite a bit of movement.
