You honestly have to see this video to believe it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUQsRPJ1dYw Question is, do we cover these with machine guns and lasers and use them as weapons, or do we cover them with cameras and sensors and send them to Mars and other solar system bodies? How cool would it be to have a dozen of these walking around on the summits of the Endeavour hills..? -------------------- Homepage Astropoetry "Cumbrian Sky" blog "Road to Endeavour" blog

Amazing technology on all previous versions, though. Eerily smooth & agile motion, very reminiscent of a living creature. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
