Re: Would gecko feet work?

The FLL team that I coached this year did a research project on artificial gecko feet, as a method of climbing walls. While the technology is out there, I'm unsure of the commercially availability. You might look into multiple suction cups with a pneumatic vacuum system, I know FIRST included them in the KOP a couple of years ago. Remember that whatever you do cannot mark the soccer balls in any way.

Good Luck!
