Lifting robot without pyramid contact now illegal

[Spr414]

I am rather curious as the manual did not mention nor address this situation, how do you use the ropes to remove a robot from the third level of the pyramid if it climbs from the corner? Is this even legal?

You will be directed at each event by the FTA on how the belay will be handled for the inside climbers, outside climbers, as well as the corner climbers.

Thanks for your help!

Keep in mind that the ropes are not used to remove robots from the pyramid, and "you" will not use them. They are to be used by field personnel, as a safety measure only, to help prevent injury in case a team loses hold of a high-climbing robot while removing it from the pyramid.
