But I don't think that is allowed?
There's nothing specific in the rules to prevent it, except that it may possibly be ruled unsafe. But you'd have to have a very accurate grappling hook shooter. You are only allowed to expand to a maximum of 90" (remember, your hook and cable are part of your robot). And the top of the tower is 84".
