We had a great second-chance sumo competition at our May SMART meeting. We voted
on building a Space Elevator ribbon climbing robot for our June meeting. The
June meeting will be on the 29th, in the Michelangelo room.
Build a robot that can climb a ribbon. The ribbon I'll be bringing is a 3" wide
woven nylon "Caution" tape that I bought at Home Depot. If you want to get some
of your own, you can get it for under $20. Look for 500 Heavy Duty Reinforced
Caution Tape", Empire manufacturer, SKU 719-282, usually in the tool aisle at
Home Depot.
The motivation for this is that there are two space elevator competitions coming
up this summer. For the mini-challenge, anything that can climb a ribbon is
great. If you want to see the rules for the competition, you can find them at

See you at the next meeting!
