The only other oil that sucks even more is Penzzoil.

Both crap!

They dont need a $1,000,000 robot to evaluate the oil...

But me some General Tao chicken and I can scribble on a piece of paper the evaluation

doesnt compare to the years of engineering you put into your oil?
oh thats right, you must have worlds better oil that you came up with.

Serious though, I thought that the video explained in detail the need of a robot for test driving, but, in case you didn't seen the video, readed the article and yet decided to bitch about it, here it goes.

Robots don't die from an test accident
Robots don't get tired.
Robots can repeat the same test with extreme precision.
Robots don't suffer from extreme temperatures like we do.
And, the most important, which is Not on the video...Robots don't need a salary.

As you can see, may be a wast of money in first instance, but is a great investment in middle term. And is not likely a really expensive robot, since its mostly a bunch of servo-engines controlled by a computer.]]>Jul 20th 2009 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/video-flossie-the-robot-can-ride-a-motorcycle-remains-obliviou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/video-flossie-the-robot-can-ride-a-motorcycle-remains-obliviou/

If the answer was "no" to any of them tell these people to go punch themselves in the face and wake me up when they come up with something that can actually "ride".

When you have a video of this robot actually taking that bike to the streets and hitting the corners (and surviving without crashing - pulling off something humans can do rather easily - shift their weight according to speed/angle/curve on a bike like that), give me a call. Until then, this is a useless shot at a publicity stunt.]]>Jul 20th 2009 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/video-flossie-the-robot-can-ride-a-motorcycle-remains-obliviou/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/20/video-flossie-the-robot-can-ride-a-motorcycle-remains-obliviou/
