Like Mr. Sevcik said, it's crucial to the design that there is a second wheel actively trying to pull the tape measure out.

On a somewhat related note, if anyone saw our performance at WPI, you likely saw that the tape measure climber gave us more trouble than it was worth. It was more difficult than expected to lower the tapes onto the bar after they were extended, as we repeatedly lowered the arms to far, breaking the tapes backwards. We're going to try to add some type of telescoping support, and will add to the build guide if we hit on any particularly good ideas. Suggestions are also more than welcome!

Thanks! Sent you a PM
