Ok. Question though, since its a cable suspended robot, why couldnt it have been a rotating wheel with the rotation and winch mechanism inside the wheel i.e. in the rim per say. Even if the wheel doesnt rotate continuously and is a free wheel, it'll rotate on contact while the winch lifts the robot up.
I know thats not the point, I'm just saying if its just climbing efficiency, the wheel would be a better design than a tripedal jointed bot.
