Suppose I were to procure a bunch of Robots and arm them with explosives and what not.. Then I use said robots via remote control from the comfort of my won home to Rob a Bank or similar institution...

It that wrong?

I mean I never went into the joint and held them up so... can I keep the monies and let the robots do the nickel?
I mean with all these flying drones I am sure it has crossed a few minds!

Ahh I want to be the first super villain!

AHAHAH!!!

Where is Badman to stop me!

I'm Badmaaaaaaaaaaan!!]]>Apr 27th 2009 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/zigbee-adding-ip-capabilities-to-its-wireless-devices-texas-ins/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/zigbee-adding-ip-capabilities-to-its-wireless-devices-texas-ins/

It was my understanding that 6lopan was IPv6 over 802.15.4, and that ZigBee is ZigBee over 802.15.4.

From the original post it is hard to tell what they are suggesting.

I suppose the ZigBee group may be adding IP based application profiles to the ZigBee specifications. They may be implementing an alternative to 6lopan (maybe IPv4 or an alternative IPv6 implementation...). Or something else.

I did not see anything on either of their websites that relates to the original post. ]]>Apr 27th 2009 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/zigbee-adding-ip-capabilities-to-its-wireless-devices-texas-ins/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/zigbee-adding-ip-capabilities-to-its-wireless-devices-texas-ins/

Says working with IETF standards but does not mention any specifically. An obvious possible starting point is 6lowpan. ]]>Apr 28th 2009 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/zigbee-adding-ip-capabilities-to-its-wireless-devices-texas-ins/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/27/zigbee-adding-ip-capabilities-to-its-wireless-devices-texas-ins/
I just made a post about the ZigBee IP transition that might give some insight to how I think it will happen (http://zachshelby.org).
