Team 4564's Tape Measure Climber
Hey everyone,

I remember that there was some talk early-on in the season about tape measure climbing devices, such as team 3280's in 2010, being feasible for this year's challenge. Team 4564 managed to create a tape measure climber, so we thought we should share a video*. Any and all questions are welcome!

*Unfortunately the video was shot vertically (iPhones, man!), but the mechanism is all there!
