We were trying to find a rope that would act as the rope that the robot needs to climb up during competition. So we decided to put a long piece of metal across two rungs of the ladder we had in shop, and we put another piece of metal on one rung to level it out, and then we tight a string as a noose around one end of the metal bar that was going underneath the ladder supported by two rungs in the ladder and that noose was out loop. Then we tied a knot on the other end of the rope which would be where the tension is. Jan hung on it, and Jan'a a big boy weighing at a whopping 140 pounds which is close enough to the 150 pound limit.
Finding metal pieces that would fit, and thinking of something to attatch the metal pieces on which would support 150 pounds
