Make a spider-bot that has no ?up or down? side with griper claws on its feet. That would be able to get into many more places. The hardest part isn?t the design however, its how to control the thing. Operation of 8 legs that can extend in any direction would be hard. But with enough iterations of a learning program I?d bet it could work.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Kouroth</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 08 Jun 2006 10:37:10 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
