Very cool entrance...however I am sure that in retrospect Woody would have liked to have performed his stunt with gloves on. Remeber Safety FIRST from FRC team 1319. (Unless gloves are not to be worn while climbing rope does anyone know?)

I thought I read an article about a group of MIT students who had created a high speed ascender/descender. Perhaps he is using their prototype!
Just like Woodie to make a grand entrance!

The planning committee must be very tickled that they pulled this off and that Dr. Flowers was game to do this. That probably means that Mrs. Flowers was game and supportive as well. Such super FIRSTers!

However, if you are doing an actual rappel (no powered device, just rope and the right climbing gear), and you AREN'T wearing gloves, your hands WILL hurt!
