as a kind of follow up to everything about the BELAY system; it's not meant to aid you in removing your robot, it's meant to ensure that the robot doesn't fall while you are removing it.

Q. May the belay system be used to lift the ROBOT a small distance to aid in releasing it from the PYRAMID before lowering the ROBOT after the MATCH?

A. No. The belay system is meant as a safety against falling ROBOTS, not a removal tool.

So, I suggest designing a trigger that you can reach to release your robot, and your BELAY attachment points to be closer to the bottom of your robot
