Introduction

The overall goal of this project was to create a mechanism able to climb a ladder. We decided to theme our project as a monkey climbing a ladder. The monkey would have two arms that pulled itself up the ladder and a tail that acted as a counterbalance for stability. The two main interesting mechanisms are the arm mechanism and the tail mechanism. The arm mechanism is a variation of an inverted crank slider, while the arm mechanism is a crank and rocker mechanism.
