Re: Scaling via jack up legs instead of "hanging"?

(Not that they also aren't if one is using the usual extend, grab, winch, hang method, amongst others).

Here is to just hoping that latching, grabbing, hooking systems used to grab the unique Bar & Scale the Towers are accurate, robust, automatic, and safe. (Manual unhooking allowance of said latches usually are recommended, as all robots are then disabled at completion of the matches and will not be powered up to effect any unhooking operation by the Robot Drive Team(s). Members).
