Re: Carabiners and hooks

I don't think they generally make climbing carabiners that size, but even if you could find one you would have a problem, carabiners that size would be for some heavy duty mountaineering, as such the have a latch on the opening portion, so that it cannot be pushed open, but rather you have to rotate a screw to unlatch it. Also those types of carabiners are built to withstand the force of a person falling at several meters per second stopping suddenly, so they are large and made of very heavy duty (and heavy weight) material, which could cause a problem for a robot with a strict weight limit
