Hmm. I'm glad Isaac hasn't set his heart on building that one. :)

I'd also be interested in any info anyone can dig up on the suction-bot. • I
have the walking mechanism down, it's the suction action that's causing me
problems.  Pneumatics could work, but I've having problems with
implementation.

There are multiple pneumatic valves that are timed to release the pressure
when pressing 'down' the suction cup, then closing the valves to maintain • the
pressure.  Open the valve again, and you can 'lift' the suction cup with
little effort.

(No, I don't know how to implement the idea, I'm only explaining how the • model
works...)
