Climber tracking
The ribbon is a thin, loosely held assembly of axial fibers. Grabbing the ribbon and ascending it without running off one side is a challenge. On more rigid structures it has already been demonstrated but not on thin ribbons. A good analog may be printing presses that run wide, thin sheets at high speeds.
Specific Work
- Definition paper based on current knowledge of running continuous sheets through roller systems
- Detailed design focusing on passive tracking – canted rollers, shaped cylinders,... with active tracking as an alternative
