Space Elevator Lego 2015

This funky, boxy little robot is a prototype for a real technology. Centuries, or perhaps even decades from now, traditional spacecraft on the planet Earth will be largely replaced by "space elevators", cheaper, mechanical vehicles that climb carbon nanotube cables into geosynchronous orbit. No more need for strapping satellites to skyscrapers of rocket fuel. Lessened threat of fatalities or explosions. Completely reusable. Economical. The only reason these contraptions aren't being used today is that nobody is exactly sure how to make long enough carbon nanotubes. If anybody has any ideas on how to pull that kind of stunt, be sure to speak up.
Somebody, a couple years ago, thought to hold a competition, where students and adults could make a small, functional model of a space elevator, and use it to climb a strip of caution tape, while carrying weights. The winner gets sweet prizes.
But, before you enter, you must provide a video. You must show that you can attach and detach your robotic contestant from the ribbon in under a minute. You also must show that your robotic contestant is capable of ascending and descending the ribbon. So... That's what this video is. Enjoy! The competition will be held on Saturday, August 22, at the Museum of Flight in Seattle WA. If any of you Lego builders watching this video wish to test your skills against me and others, along with getting some free tickets to an awesome museum, be sure to click these blue words:
