well for the tether you could just make a 20 foot tall reel that the tether line could come out of and be winched back into (could also serve as a hangnign winch eh eh?)

there was a team who was making a tethered winch that would crawl up and onto the bar. and once it was up, would reel in the winch. cool concept, but not likely.

That was my idea - the VAR (Vertical Adjustment Rover)... unfortunately, FIRST deemed it illegal. But the thread below has some nice pics:
