Spider Robot Slings Webs

This, as you can plainly see, is an “underconstrained cable suspended robot capable of maneuvering from one stance space to another by clinging to new contact points.” Got that? Good. Other info on this bot is pretty sparse, but we do know that it’s able to shoot grappling hooks which look to be magnetic, allowing it to clamber awkwardly around ceilings. As commenter Zool pointed out in our last ceilingbot post, magnets don’t do you much good on most ceilings, but hypothetically, the grappling technology is modular and could be replaced with something a little bit more adaptable.
