Re: No stored energy!?

Yes, but the energy stored after deployment still has to be generated by the Tetrix motors, so if you are maximizing their power output already it is far less useful. The take-home message is that the only energy that can be used for climbing at all is energy generated by the two Tetrix motors after DEPLOYMENT has finished.
