Hey guys I have a freaking project that requires me to build a rope climbing robot that cannot be powered by chemical based. Basically no batteries as such are required.
Simplest thing that comes to mind: Two connected rollers with rubber bands inside, which you wind up.carzygoul said:we're basically required to build a robot that is non-chemically powered to climb a rope of 8mm thick to a height of approximately 1.5m

If you have one, you can try. But keep in mind that the weight counts. Rubber bands are light.carzygoul said:hmm what if i use a pullback or wind-up motor... u think can climb better?
The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the use of alternative power sources for robots, specifically the use of kinetic energy to power a climbing mechanism.
The robot will use a combination of a motor and gears to convert the kinetic energy from the rope's movement into mechanical energy to power the climbing mechanism. This eliminates the need for traditional batteries and showcases the potential of using alternative power sources.
Materials needed for this project include a motor, gears, rope, and a climbing mechanism. Other materials such as a power source and a controller may also be required depending on the specific design of the robot.
This project requires basic knowledge of robotics, mechanics, and electronics. It is recommended to have experience with building robots and using motors and gears before attempting this project.
Yes, this project can be modified for different purposes by adjusting the design and components to fit the desired task. For example, the climbing mechanism can be changed to a gripping mechanism for picking up objects instead of climbing ropes.
