I'm sorry but i'll take my changes with the window or whatnot. Hopefully they'll have a radio in it so when/if it gets stuck they can tell you to get out, if theres room to slide your file cabinet drawer out, instead of sitting there twidling your thumbs while it melts around you.

I like the prototype this guys one better. ]]>Mar 2nd 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/yokohama-fire-department-enlists-robotic-crawler-to-aid-evacuati/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/yokohama-fire-department-enlists-robotic-crawler-to-aid-evacuati/Mar 2nd 2009 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/yokohama-fire-department-enlists-robotic-crawler-to-aid-evacuati/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/yokohama-fire-department-enlists-robotic-crawler-to-aid-evacuati/Mar 2nd 2009 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/yokohama-fire-department-enlists-robotic-crawler-to-aid-evacuati/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/yokohama-fire-department-enlists-robotic-crawler-to-aid-evacuati/Mar 2nd 2009 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/yokohama-fire-department-enlists-robotic-crawler-to-aid-evacuati/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/yokohama-fire-department-enlists-robotic-crawler-to-aid-evacuati/Mar 2nd 2009 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/yokohama-fire-department-enlists-robotic-crawler-to-aid-evacuati/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/02/yokohama-fire-department-enlists-robotic-crawler-to-aid-evacuati/Mar 2nd 2009 10:59AM
