Rope Climb

The objective of this task was to have the NXT climb up a rope on a 45 degree slope and climb back down in 60 seconds.

My original plan was to use a sort of Batman tool and wind up a seprate rope and have my robot use the othe rope as something to just hang on. But I wasn't too keen on designing that sort of tool, so I just coppied what everyone else was doing and so I ended up having my rope in between two wheels and the wheels just turned and moved my NXT up the rope. And theennnn, my robot made a smashing end with dislocatnig the motor from the NXT and effortlessly slid down the rope.

Some issues I had were the wheels getting a grip on the rope. I had to pry a tiny space between the tires so they could have traction.

Center of gravity... I had to take off my touch sensor because it was messing with my balance. I couldn't go up the rope because one side was heavier. The blance of the robot it important. If the robot is doing a task that requires it to have symmetry then it's important to make sure the balance is equal.
