Re: How Fast Can you Safely Climb?

Assuming someone does not have it geared 10,000:1 so it crawls up an inch per hour, motor current may pop the snap breakers/fuses. There is only so much power available, and since it needs to be geared in a realistic manner that limits how much force can be expected. Still hundreds of pounds and even thousands, but I expect the damage to be done to the robots because of ill designed systems.
