DEWBOT VII utilizes a 3-hook climber system allowing the robot to climb up to the TRANSVERSAL RUNG of the HANGER during end game. The Center hook arm (the Climbing Hook Arm) extends and articulates between vertical and 20° forward of vertical. The Climbing Hook Arm is modeled on a 2-stage Thrifty Bot Telescoping Tube kit. Constant force springs provide the extension force for the arm, while a Gearbox Winch controls the extension and retraction.
A pair of Static Hook Posts flank the Climbing Hook Arm. These Posts do not articulate, but the Static Hooks which terminate them do rotate and are spring loaded to allow the Climbing Hook to bring each RUNG to a point below the Static Hooks, then extend to transfer the RUNG from the Climbing Hook to the Static Hooks.
