Problem Statement:

We plan to develop a mechanism that is able to climb and pull itself up between two parallel walls. This will require precisely timed motions that distribute forces evenly throughout the robot, resulting in a steady movement upward. In order to keep the robot stable as it scales the walls, large friction forces must be employed. In order to obtain this friction, distributed loads must be applied. A simple joint cannot easily provide such a load, and so it is necessary that we utilize more complicated linkages in our design.
