Rules Regarding Taking Robot Down That Climbed?

So after perusing the rules myself and my team members have been unable to find any regulations on what to do when a robot has climbed the rope. Does anyone have any idea about how the robots will be brought down and does the robot need anything special (mounting points) to be brought down?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Rules Regarding Taking Robot Down That Climbed?

R08 seems to cover this. [Standard CD caveat: Official Q&A opens Jan. 11]

If your robot has climbed on the field-provided rope, you will have to be able to remove it without powering up.

If your robot has climbed on a team-provided rope, you can remove the rope from the field while it is still attached to the robot.

Either way this needs to be performed safely. Field reset people will show the right way.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
