The current plan for the climber is for it to be linked to the right side of our drive at all times. We have, however, included VersaPlanetary mounting holes on our side panels in case we want to power it from a dedicated motor. As for the drag, we haven't really decided whether or not we will implement drive-straight code. If, after some driver practice with our practice bot, we realize that the robot is pulling hard, we will likely attempt to account for drift or just decouple from the drive train if the sensor integration proves too finicky.
