Inspiration

Charing under building 32 is very fun, until you have to climb back up.

What it does

This latches onto the railing on the side and using three motors, pulls you back to the top.

How we built it

We used a breadboard to prototype the electronics and 80/20 erector set to create the frame.

Challenges we ran into

Battery power and motor control were two problems we ran into.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Redundancies paid off in the creation process. We planned ahead this time!

What we learned

Metal is conductive.

What's next for Rail Snail

Smaller form factor, better batteries, more powerful motors.
