Default Is This Cool Or What????
Check out this video I found on another site. Although this is an airline site, I just thought it would be neat to put it here since most of us are fairly "technical minded". Isn't technology incredible?

Twisted Videos - ROCK 103

It DOES sound like an RC airplane though....LOL Watch the whole video.

To demonstrate that it can maneuver across slippery surfaces.

This is what I see.



I couldn't stop laughing when it was slipping on the ice, looked so goofy.

That is just too cool, and the noise it makes cracks me up. Robots really have come a long way:

They better put some blaze orange on that thing, it's hunting season.
Wonder if you still aim behind the front leg to stop it?

As I was watching this thing walk around and keep it's balance, it appeared almost human-like in its actions. I even "felt sorry" for it as it was slipping on the ice (reminded me of those clips of cows with Mad Cow Disease when they were stumbling around while trying to walk)....... did anyone else feel that sense of emotion? Man, that's pretty wierd.
