    @TheSonOfKrypton: Yeah, and I bet on those rock climb walls, the people aren't really climbing, it's the employees with the safety rope pulling them up, right?


    Also, how does it fall if he's pulling it?

    @aboriginal: The point of this robot is actually to develop the climbing claws, not the leg movements. It can climb any suitably rough surface. This video just happens to have a pole.

    I wonder how this will deal with all the ads on the poles around me like "Make your own Sign" or "Single? Visit TownNameSingles.com".


    Also, contrary to popular beleif/stereotypes, most Polish people wouldn't stand for a robot climbing up them.

    i dunno if i would call that ease or ferocious. I was expecting like some crazy speed climb and then it looks back at you and roars and then rips off the operators head.

    I can't help but imagine two guys in a body suit with a box trying to chase me.
