MicroTugs

I so want some gecko grip shoes :-) One of the more interesting (and practical) problems is rope climbing. Many large structures and spans start with a shooting a thread across a span, then pulling across a larger rope, then a still larger rope. I would love to see a rope bridging robot that could traverse gaps in that way.

That's awesome. I assume a major, practical problem is the power source and how much work such a small robot can do before running out of energy.

Good, more companions for the finglonger and angry dome.
