A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
That reminds me, I need a bi-ped robot
Who doesnt?
Who doesn't?
Nice dance, nice mobility, but too bad they don't have any artificial intelligence.
Be careful what you wish for :)
The first step to the end of the human race...
"Fills us with cheer" is sound surprisingly like "Fills us with fear."
"Comming" to retail shelves near you.
Well, at least you'll hear them coming.
This is the kind of thing that keeps me coming back to Engadget.
~They see you when you're sleeping
~They know when you are awake
~They know are dead or alive
~Oh you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout I'm telling you why
~Skynet is coming to town.
I like the one that fell over half way through. I'll take him at a discounted price.
Looks to me more like he did a backwards roll to get in position.
The noise of the servos/motors kinda ruins it to be honest.
*Siiiiilent WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....*
*Hooooly WHIIIIIR*
:-/
I see it more like this:
He was imagining a certain female robot that he brushed plastic hands with at the water cooler and forgot his move.
LoL, Robots will use this video when they enslave the human race as proof of their enslavement by human beings.
OMG
This made my day.
Impressive! Just in time for the Christmas holidays! Well done.
I like 1:19 when the robot does a roll LOL
Ahahaha!
I was kinda 'meh...' during the first song, but "Santa Claus is Coming To Town" was hilarious!
Impressive, but why do I feel like the combined sound of all those tiny servos is a creepy foreshadowing of doom?
just brilliant. cheers. and happy holidays.
That's nothing...The M&M guys have been doing that for years.
I don't know what's worse, children singing, or the noise of so many servos.
Only $700 each... too bad I need foods
Robots don't. Another reason to replace a child today!
I for one welcome our Xmas jingle dancing robot overlords
i came here just to say that
First they mesmerize you with their dance, but then suddenly the mood changes!
The Robots sternly demand, "Please put down your weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply."
all i hear is the whirring of the motors more then the music ;x
You can't outrun them. You can't destroy them. If you damage them, the essence of what they are remains – they regenerate and keep coming... eventually you will weaken – your reserves will be gone... they are relentless.
This officially made my Friday!
Simply awesome!
Robot armies require huge amounts of funding.
What better way than to go into showbiz and entertain us before they destroy us.
Haha, made me day.
They're seriously making my ears bleed with their movements.
I wonder what the tryouts were like for this dance team.

Enjoy :-)
Can't you see the danger? They will be used to create dynamic landing strips. Light rows, light arrows... the robot overlords will be able to send their flying drones about everywhere!
That was amazing! :-) Lulling us into a false sense of security with Holiday Dancing Robot's was probably an early Skynet-backed venture. :-P
see that blue light, its V.I.C.K.Y trying to reconnect with the robots!! damn u NS-5 juniors..
