Re: Safety Modifacations

Instead of (or in addition too) making the mechanism safer you could set more rigorous guidelines for interacting with the robot when it's under power. This includes things like keeping distance from the robot during testing. There should be no reason why anyone should be interacting with the climber during normal operation and if in the off chance it is necessary appropriate cautions can be taken.

This is what OSHA recommends for machinery that does not require human interaction (like a CNC mill).

Hardware wise I'd try to cut down the bolts to the nuts. They can be quite sharp.
