I could be wrong, but won't the new little yellow backup battery have any part in continuing to allow your robot to hold onto the bar without it releasing when the power is cut at the end?

It'll be very easy for bots to fall too...if there are two robots with hooks, and the two hooks so much as slide into eachother, chances are one or both robots will become unhooked and fall


Imagine the carnage as two robots smash into two other robots as well as each other from several feet in the air...I'm bringing my camera
