And a little less unsafe given the sloped & slick nature of the existing Tower Batter design, as the robot on uneven jacking legs on that particular slope & material at least before reaching the full required height and grabbing the bar (if that was at least intended), would be quite precarious in relation 2 other scaling or surrounding robots. (Not that they also aren't if one is using the usual extend, grab, winch, hang method, amongst others).
Here is to just hoping that latching, grabbing, hooking systems used to grab the unique Bar & Scale the Towers are accurate, robust, automatic, and safe. (Manual unhooking allowance of said latches usually are recommended, as all robots are then disabled at completion of the matches and will not be powered up to effect any unhooking operation by the Robot Drive Team(s). Members).
