Have the bot mounted on a tether like a pendulum lamp, it pays out an umbilical, Mission Impossible stylee, and when it reaches the floor it moves on suction cups. It basically belays (sp?) itself like an inertia reel climbing harness. Or optionally it could reel in the line if it "feels" itself begninning to fall. Not infallible but should help. Or give it airbags?
- brudgers 16y agoMount the Bot on a dual axis cable system similar to a Skycam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skycam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skycam Feed high pressure water and cleaners from overhead. Allow the bot to move vertically. Hot air blower for drying.
