Re: How Fast Can you Safely Climb?

Obviously the operator can let go of the trigger when the robot reaches the top. My point was that if a robot is climbing very fast, it's going to take skill on the operator's part to stop the robot in a reasonable amount of time. I was looking for reasonable methods of stopping the robot that would be automatic. Limit switches and current sensing are two good options. Are there any other options that can be utilized on a robot?
