ROBOT climbs up rope more than 60 feet before coming back down safely | Daily Mail Online

'There are not many tasks that require shinning up and down a vertical hanging rope, but should there ever be need, there is now a robot capable of achieving the feat.

A team of amateur robot builders has created a humanoid machine called Skeletron, or Skelly for short, that can clamber up to the top of a length of hanging rope and then climb back down.

Some were so due to moral or ethical concerns, others due to resource utilization issues, others due to cultural taboos. All other factors being equal, the veg(etari)ans have thrived, and continue to do so. For some more recent historical examples of vegans, we can look at Pythagoras, the "Pythagoreans" (as vegans were called for the following 1300 years), along with a plethora of like-minded contemporaries (e.g. goo.gl/lgDBL ). Buddhists, Jainists, et al., have been doing grand as veg(etari)ans since around the 6th century BCE. Prior to this, there's compelling reason to believe that most people were veg...
