Yep, engineers at NASA are hard at work on a robot that they hope will one day be able to climb the cliffs of Mars, and take part in search and rescue missions in rough terrain here on Earth. Wonder how they'd go on dynos?

Maybe we could start a campaign to find a name for this climbing robot? We could even couple it with the "Legends" thread?
