Wow, for once I'm actually missing the constant barrage of iPhone news.
Then go to http://www.tuaw.com/ and leave the rest of us alone.
I would except that they have only gotten three new posts in the last few days. Thats about as slow as it gets.
That would be what is called a weekend.
I hope robots won't be able to do that to humans any time soon :( All those 'I, for one,' comments won't seem so tongue in cheek when you see robot take downs in the street during their inevitable revolution.
It makes me happy to remember that these little guys are still small enough to punt across the room before they try to kick my ass...
That
Was
Tight.
Haha, just like a falling statue.
I for one welcome our Miniature robot overlords. :P
well someone had to say it
Real-life Toribash! Haha.
Is this the Robot from 7th age of computing?
Stop teaching violence to small Robots!
I have nightmares which involve your avatar.
I suspect your avatar can hijack this thread
That was actually pretty awesome. But, it scares me to thnk of the roboot overlords doing that to us, once they learn to think for themselves! X.X
Fortunately I think we have less to fear from robotic boots than we do from autonomous M-16 wielding iraqbots.
So when do you think they will be able to program them to counter-attack?
holy crap thats one wicked supplex! rofl!
sweet.
What's that robot? Is it of the shelf? Looks like it ... anyone know?
A perfect suplex!
Next thing you know there will be a 6'1 tall Robo-One serial suplexing humans.
That looks amazing.
Those damn robots are going to make slaves our of us before we even notice it. Dogs have been doing this for years (we feed, clean and amuse them)
In this article http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=526&doc_id=155718&f_src=flffour they talk about robots downloading personalities and developing emotional bonding.
The suplex was awesome, but I think the most impressive part was how he got back up afterwards. Kickass.
Human eyes can see maximum of 70fps...so why does 300fps even exist? For the benefit of other robots?
mile has THE BEST ENGADGET POST EVER!!!
Umm so we can slow it down and play it back so we get slow-mo. have you really not been paying attention to high speed film?
AHHH damn it all. sarcasm has yet to turned on in my brain today...
Great. But they can't roll to get up.
The wheels are turning in Vince Mcmahon's head for the future of wrestling.
PWND
It's a minor point, but that match actually took place at the 5th Wonderful Robot Carnival in Tokyo last month. There are more photos here: http://www.robots-dreams.com/2008/07/5th-wonderful-r.html The Carnival is held every six months, and is one of the pre-qualification events for the big ROBO-ONE competitions.
