Re: Robot Lifting

Hi, As I understand the rules the lifting is defined as "above the platform and in contact with the tower". It doesn't say the robot has to hang of the cross tube. So why can't the robot clamp to one of the vertical tower poles and pull itself up. It would not have to reach so far and also would not have to be concerned with the center of gravity wanting it to swing under the tower.
