I don't even want to know what he's so happy about in the bottom right panel.

Anyone would think another female robot was giving him a....

.... present. Like a new microchip.

What? What did you think I was gonna say? Not my fauly you have a dirty mind.

Wouldn't it have been more interesting to just keep it the way it was in 1928 and put in in the museum as an example of early animatronics?]]>Apr 25th 2008 4:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/

Yeah, but.. by refitting it, they destroyed the original work of art. I'd have preferred it if they had just replaced the rubber tubing et cetera so that it works just like it worked back in 1923, so that you could actually learn something about the history of how these things used to work back in the day.

Now it is just a crappy animatronic in the shell of what was once a work of art.]]>Apr 25th 2008 5:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/Apr 25th 2008 5:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/This was a reconstruction project, so that there would be something to put in the museum.]]>Apr 25th 2008 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/Apr 25th 2008 4:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/Apr 25th 2008 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/Apr 25th 2008 5:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/Apr 25th 2008 5:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/Apr 25th 2008 5:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/Apr 25th 2008 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/25/video-japans-oldest-robot-reanimated-writes-calligraphy-in/
