Re: Level 2 climber concept

I feel like this isn't safe at all. If that initial bar hook slips (Which it may, consider the momentum of the bot) your bot is flying through the air. A landing from 3 feet will bend and break components. Slowly but surely may be a sure way to climb.

Style points are nice, but your robot breaking at your first regional isn't.

EDIT:: I've been duped!
