We couldn't move side to while we were hanging, but we could move side to side after we were hooked to the bar. We would hook ourselves to the bar, then using our omnidirectional drive system we would strafe side to side. When the time came to hang, we could just "pop" the pneumatic lifters on our wheels, or retract our extension to get us off the ground.
