Coconut Science Lab:

Abigaile-III is a wall-crawling robot developed at Simon Fraser University's School of Engineering Science, The robot uses 'dry adhesive' technology, not unlike the clinging feet of geckos.

The European Space Agency is interested in testing how such dry adhesives would perform in space conditions through its Networking/Partnering initiative.

They could make the front legs reattach at the same time, and the middle ones too.
That would reduce the climbing time by 2 but reduce the safety as the robot would be attached on only 3 feet when moving. But they could increase the attaching area to solve this safety problem.

can we just make the leg joins bigger so that it could clip more faster?
23min for this distance is like
sure its just a prototype, but i hope the final goal is faster movement!

I reckon if the ammount of movement in the legs was increased to say 2" per movement it would climb up walls very fast :)
