Re: Climbing Mechanism Ideas

The difficult thing about helping partner robots up the pyramid is that they also have to satisfy the rules for ascending the pyramid in the proper order. They couldn't simply drive up a giant ramp or ride a lift up to the 3rd level, since they would need to contact a point on each level of the pyramid on the way up.

I think an inside climb might be slightly easier because you can grab a bar from beneath and winch or lift up, but I'm concerned about accidentally contacting the ground (level 0) when going from level 1 to level 2. Also you couldn't fit multiple robots inside the pyramid very well (not that we'll see many triple climbs anyway...).
