#ICYMI: German robo-operas, pan-Pacific battle mechs and more

ICYMI: Germany's Autonomous Opera, a Big Bot Throwdown and More

Today on In Case You Missed It: A German opera company's new lead for My Square Lady is a singing, dancing robot; MegaBot, America's first battle mech, just challenged its Japanese counterpart to a duel and a handheld pressure washer, dubbed the Loogun, scours poo (or, in this case, some exceedingly clingy Vegemite) from your toilet bowl so you don't have to.

From the cutting room floor: NASA debuted a prototype glider called the Prandtl-m (Preliminary Research Aerodynamic Design to Land on Mars) that could be cruising the skies of Mars sometime within the next decade. Good luck pronouncing that acronym.
