norelem supported Team 09, which was made up of students from Chur in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. Team 09's robot was named Jailbreaker and the principle behind how it was programmed was extraordinary. Whilst still on the roof, it drops a panel complete with 3M double-sided tape on the floor and hits it once with a hammer so that it is fixed securely to the roof. The robots can then abseil down safely using the straps attached to the panel. The drive is fitted with caterpillar tracks, which run over three rollers on each side and have a small tension pulley to provide the necessary tension. |
