At the Mindstorms Mall Tour 2000 they showed off a robot which climbs up and
down a wall. The wall has to be built for the purpose, with holes at a
certain spacing. The robot can be done with the parts in one RIS box,
although there was one brick type I'm not sure I've seen before. They said
the plans will be on the website within a month, although the guy I talked
to wasn't sure how they'd make the program available.
