Re: Team 4564's Tape Measure Climber

Our robot currently has a tape measure climbing mechanism, but it is quite different (and not as effective) to yours. We use a tape measure to deliver a hook to the top bar, and then a winch and cord to pull the robot up.

My questions are: have you dismantled your tape measure and built a custom system for it, and secondly, it looks like you lift by the tape measure, how do you do that?

Your system works very well, a 15 second climb is impressive!!
