Re: Is Anyone Using Motors to Hoist themselves off the platform on the bar?

We were going to use a big wench to pull us up onto the bar. But that led to imagining ourselves in scenes from bad English Robin Hood movies, and pretending to be brawling Musketeers, and playing Renaissance Faire, and thinking all sorts of bawdy thoughts, and then she got really upset with the whole idea of wearing that silly corseted costume...

So instead we got back to working on the robot, and developing a winch system to reel us up off the ground.
