Go to Post Never allow your students to get away with an answer that amounts to "because it's better". Have them prove it to the best of their ability, and when they're wrong, ask them to figure out why they're wrong. - Tom Line [more]

I'm not entirely sure how they get onto the first rung and ratchet up, however.
Sir, you are correct. As for the first rung, we will let the pistons assume a straight up 90% angle first, the cylinders will extend, just enough to hook on to the first rung, and we will fire the cylinders, pull the robot half way up. We also have a kickstand mechanism in the middle of the robot, which will make our robot parallel with the 68 degrees angle. And at this point, the wrench will start pulling and that would get our front wheels past the first rung, engaging our passive hook.
