Re: Ramps/Climbing the Platform

It seems to me that any system sufficient enough to take your robot onto a 20 inch high platform is going to be just as complicated (or more so!) as a system to grab the bar and hang. Even if you try to go from the bump to the platform, that's still a good 6-8 inches, and most likely not an easy task, especially with the bumpers in the way.

For those trying to decide which is easier, hanging or platform... Just know that we have an amazingly simple mechanism that gets us hooked and elevated quickly while only using 1 CIM and no other motors.
