The belay system will not be used to lower the robot.
That said, the best way to lower the robot will likely not be between the bars. Stay either inside or outside the entire time, and if you end up inside, roll it out past the bars after its on the ground. |
Actually that Q&A said that it can't be used to LIFT the robot a small distance, (think like a hook wrapped on the pole, it would need to go up before going down)
The point of the belay system is to keep everything safe, in the event a student can't hold the 150 pounds of robot above their heads.
Why the belay system can't be used to help mitigate the risk of dropping a robot on a student? Beyond me.
