Re: belaying device

We discussed the difficulty in lowering our robot at length yesterday. Our robot is really tall and a level 3 climber. We set up a belay system with 80 pounds of weight at the height our robot would be and none of our prospective drivers could keep it up without putting weight on the belay line. If the robot falls and pivots there is wide radius where people could get hurt. I'm really curious about how this is going to work out with all the chaos on the field. Happy to not be in a week one competition this year.
