Anyways... No one I've mentioned this too really likes my idea but it goes like this...

I simply use a spring loaded a "jumping" mechanism that would catapult my robot towards the top rung. While in mid flight, the robot reaches out and briefly touches level 1 and 2 in that order, then grasps on to the top rung.

I enjoy imagining what would happen if it misses...
