1551 Scaling

We had some...issues...with our climber this weekend.

After some TLC we got it going under half power tonight, and things are looking good!

We should be able to go up significantly faster than that--it's an encoder-controlled dual PTO winch, so ~2kW of lifting goodness--but that's a problem for the practice robot!
