Wanna Make Like Spidey?

Want to be my spidey friend?

If you’ve ever wanted to scale the side of buildings like Spider Man, now’s your chance! Thanks to the geeks (and we say that lovingly) at MIT.

Ball’s Atlas Powered Rope Ascender can pull a firefighter loaded down with 80 to 100 pounds of equipment up a 30-story building in 30 seconds. Trudging up the stairs weighed down with equipment that heavy can take six to eight minutes.
