Not to mention climbing the steps to get to the bar...

Yes, but now you have to raise an 8 pound hunk of plastic 7' in the air, plus, the more they stack, the higher it gets, to you have to reach higher and higher, each time you're holding an 8-12 pound object on the end of an arm, stressing the material alot because of wobbling, and the center of gravity gets moved and tipping is easier..... I think its just as hard.... Instead of just having raw power to pull your 120 pounds up, you have to find a way to make a manuverable bot, but one that won't tip when you really throw the center of gravity off
