Teams should plan on having a way to stop climbing when they reach the top that doesn't consist of stalling motors.
What happens when the retaining knot is solid, the gear ratios are low, and the rope is rated to ridiculous tensile strengths? Is there a realistic possibility that something on the field could break?

What recommendations do people have so teams

1. Don't burn out climber motors
2. Don't break the field
