Let me clear that up. The cylinder that is mounted to the frame pushes out the second cylinder and claw/motor assembly on a slide. After it reaches the end of its length, the PG71 motor and chain drive (Shown in the CAD drawings as a window motor and belt driven sprocket system) rotates to lift the second cylinder. We then move it against the rung, and close both cylinders. This moves us to the same position as shown in the 3rd photo of my first post. To climb the next level, we repeat the process with the other side assembly. We climb from the inside of the pyramid with our wheels perpendicular to the floor. Once we reach the top level, both pistons are retracted inward to contain us completely within the third climbing zone.

Hopefully that makes things a little more understandable.

A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
