Campus Board Improvements?

Hey guys, I am currently doing a project for my Design and Technology course and being a climber, I wanted to do something associated with climbing and more specifically a campus board. Being that the campus board is already so well made, I would just like some opinion about what could be changed to make it more effective, safer or easier to use.

Add a grid of popout huge spikes underneath. When the board is weighted spikes pop out. One should reach the top rung with both hands and stick to it for three seconds to push spikes back in.

Design a campus board where the rung spacing is easily and quickly varied.

To go one step further, connect the campus board to a sensor that measures an user's height and ape index, and automatically adjust the rung spacing.

Design a campus board where you can change the rung depth on a single rung, that way you can have only one rung set and save tons of space.

? huh ?

As a training tool for most climbers, most public campus boards have a primitive design based more on achieving a certain "look", rather than supporting a rational training strategy (rational for most climbers). 

And most exhibit a great waste of "board area" real estate.

If you carefully read threads on this forum about this topic in the past 5-10 years, you'll find lots of ideas for improvements.
