Re: Sideways Hanging - Yes or No

I guess my big concern is the column in compression and then a bot hanging sideways as mentioned shock loading that column in bending. Plus if the bot is hanging out like that and maybe sticking out 4', then another bot climbs on the back of bot 1, or even 2 bots. That could put the bots collective cg as much as 4'-6' away from the side of the tower. That's a lot of force on that 1 column that's now in compression and bending. bad.... And if the collective cg gets out past the edge of the floor plate in any direction it could pull it over.
