Re: Grappling hook?

With the right material, I would say that that wouldn't be a problem at all. There are many ways to lessen the strain, and I think it would be quite easily possible to engineer a way, be it pulleys or a fancy combination of motors to use a grappling hook to hang from the bar, and even great in the respect of not needing power while removing the robot. Again, I see the main concern as safety, and I think that will be the deciding factor.
