This robot uses 8 suction caps to be able to climb on vertical walls and ceilings. The robot is one of our oldest robots of the Robotics & Multibody Research Group (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and was finished in 2000. Now the electronics are improved as well as some hardware components. It is mainly used as demonstrator during science exhibitions and lab tours.
