Do the prototype team think we are stupid???She was using the ropes under her feet to push herself up

dude... those ropes were connected to the gecko grip things on the wall. So she was totally supported by the gecko grip prototypes. Get it?

i agree with itsbeach, the ropes are hanging in a slight curve, so she clims with the two boxes

I was one of the fabricators on Prototype This! This was a fun, but difficult build. That rig actually uses research gleaned from beetle and spider legs. We did also build a gecko climbing rig but it looks more like a set of tennis racquets covered in silicone.
