  • That's a nice robot and all, but what is it trying to prove? It seems extremely inconvenient.

  • I love how they put all of this nice technology in it and it takes a minute and a half to climb once.

    *WHIRRR* *HIT* *...* *WHIRR* *ACHIEVEMENT*

  • @Ditherliss Walking up walls? Unconvenient?

  • Great idea. Great execution. Success!!

  • Its a concept robot. Showing that a re-usable adhesive (hot melt can be re-made into new sticks) can be used in scaling a vertical surface.

  • @Ditherliss roomba wall cleaner?

  • To all the critics here,, you were the same people that people like Bell, Einstein etc. proved wrong.. Gawd, user your imaginations... 

  • @ZaifoTube so they get their idea from a basic gun gun, it takes power to heat the glue and then it leaves a nice mess and very slow. Its just doesn't look good and just because they spend alot of time on it doesn't mean it deserves anything..

  • @poontankk Oh really? This robot can climb surfaces other robots can't, with more research and improvements it might become useful, or the idea used here can be exploited in a related topic...

  • @llamadodesombras Yes, it's MATLAB.
