omg I am glad they have people in the picture, it would be hard to believe the bots werent ppl dressed up like robots.
Wait I got taken once by a japanese video...are you sure this is real?

[Gwarsbane]

Yes I'm positive that these little guys are for real. I seen them on CNN running around and stuff :)

[Quickening]

Absolutely awesome..but whats the real purpose of them?

[Gwarsbane]

Well If you can just size them up to normal size you could use them in construction work, or what ever.

We are just on the budding edge of robotics when you see stuff like that. Just imagin in another 20 years. We could have robots running around stopping crime. Each store could have its own crime fighter.

Or they could use them as dancers for theme shows. Really anything is possable.

I predict a robo cop, but with a worse name. Legal reasons, they wont be allowed to use robo cop cuz it would be a registered trade mark. Well better him gettting shot then me, i like my name :D

anon u predict right. next year i will work with my robotic class on a robocup, we will build small size robots hat will play soccer. if we will have money we will fly and play in a tourmanent, but its damn expensive...

THEY'LL KILL US ALL!

I've seen the ones that play soccer, but that was a few years ago, they probably have improved quite a bit by then.
