Feel like skating? Us too/neither... first scans of SKATE
Electronic Arts... the grandfather of sports titles. They're moving into skateboarding now with SKATE. Danny Way, a respected individual in the art of skating upon a board, has opted to be the poster child for this game. If this game works out, Tony Hawk may finally cringe a little bit in his current monopoly on the franchise. SKATE boasts a physics-driven system instead of pre-animated moves. Sounds great on paper! Not much else to say for now -- check out the scans and think to yourself: would I skateboard, should injury not be inflicted upon my self? Philosophize!
PLEN keeps trim 'n fit with skating activities
We suppose it's not really fair compare to anybody, even a robot, to our atrocious skills on a skateboard, but it sure looks like PLEN could manage fairly well against us in a street challenge. Even in his time off, PLEN takes to a bit of roller skating, and we already know about his penchant for the dance. Sounds like PLEN is on a mission to set an example for today's young robots in physical fitness, but the $2,200 price tag is still a bit hefty. Still, at 9-inches and 1.54 pounds, PLEN is putting the hurt on most consumer-ish humanoids in the mobility department.[Via MobileWhack]
