Well, I was trying to build a thing to grip the rope....which
involved squeezing
the rope between two gear racks.  Needless to say it didn't work.
In my head I
for some reason thought the rope was soft, such that I could grip
at it like
that with the texture of the racks.  To make you proud, I even used
worm to 24
to power it.


The problem really is that the rope is slippery.  This makes it very
difficult to make a self locking mechanism to trap the rope.

I think I've got something now that will, hopefully it will work.  If not, oh
well.
