How Do you Climb the Rope?

The purpose of the game rules is not to imagine and categorically list everything you should not do, but to give you guidelines of FIRST's intent and leave it to your developing good judgment to know what's acceptable and what is simply skirting the rules. - Mark McLeod [more]

Re: How Do you Climb the Rope?

We're working four different prototype tracks for climbing. We figured out pretty quickly that securing the rope would be the fiddly bit.

"Keyhole" (knot)
"Hook Drum" (loop)
"Wringer" (plain end)
"LevelWind" (plain end)

All but "wringer" involve pulling the rope with a winch/drum/spool. Wringer is more like a continuous intake mechanism.
