What shartman said.Breathlessly saying it can climb something even "as smooth as glass" implies that there is something impressive about climbing glass. Heck, you could do this with Lego bricks and a few suction cups.
"tax payers money going the right way!"Carnegie Mellon is a private university...the only tax payers who are affected are the ones who contribute to their endowment.
