With the props all in the rear, whenever this thing would move forward it would do a complete nose dive.  Add to the fact that if the arms were ever fully extended forwards, it would be so nose heavy the thing would nose dive even faster.  Plus, judging by the rendering, there is no buoyancy material attached to the robot further adding to the sinking...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kingfish]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 7th 2009 2:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Underwater robot has sense of touch, class and style]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/07/underwater-robot-has-sense-of-touch-class-and-style/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/07/underwater-robot-has-sense-of-touch-class-and-style/</guid><description><![CDATA[It could also be equipped with tools like welding torch to cut holes in their hull.
