The team's robotic machine raced up more than 2,950 feet of cable dangling from a helicopter. Powered by a ground-based laser pointed up at the robot's photo voltaic cells that converted the light into electricity, the team's LaserMotive machine completed one of its climbs in roughly three minutes and 48 seconds.
