Who knew Disney was into this kind of stuff? Watching the robot transition from the ground to the wall was pretty impressive.

Huh...at first I thought it isn't climbing but, that's based on the assumption that to climb you have to be holding onto the ground. This thing just uses air pressure from non-traditional propulsion system to make it "stick" to the wall. Doubt it can handle going across a ceiling, I imagine if the fans are powerful enough to do that, the thing could just fly...and that makes it a flying drone with giant wheels.
Pretty cool, kinda surprise Steve didn't go about his robot killing human tirade.

Not quite, it only has two fans. It may be able to pin itself against the ceiling, but not actually have a stable flight. It needs one more fan for xy control mid-air.
