it lives off the dead!

Scientists at the University of the West of England (UWE) have designed a robot that does not require batteries or electricity to power itself.

Instead, it generates energy by catching and eating houseflies.

this world is getting so fvcked up.

when they combine that with the Osimo (sp?) robot, that will be awsome.

But then you'd have to make sure to generate enough waste to keep it running...

I don't think in our country we'd have to worry about "generating enough waste".......

right now you could send it to eat the 116,000 dead from the giant wave.

or them, I mean. send them, the big army of death eating robots.

oh, the visions in my head. neaky:

Baby steps...
Let's fine tune the technology by starting with anything smelling like patchoulie and/or wearing patchwork clothing. Once the real trash as fuel concept is dialed, we can move on to disaster clean-up.

 

[Westy]

Cool, I'm gonna hook it up to my time traveling Delorean.

 

[DownhillnDunkey]

I bet some mad scientist dude on PCP is going to get murdered, then it would be up will smith to investigate and save the world. and then they could make an i,robot 2.

yeah, gain energy by picking up my used towels. that'd be cool

 

[chicodude]

Why can't we have a robot that tracks down and eats cats for fuel?



That'd be ssiiiiccckkk

 

[Skookum]

i wonder how PETA would feel about this?

 

[chicodude]

Can we program it to feed off of PETA members?

It'd be better to build one that would feed of Chicodude for 1000 years......... :eviltongu

You ain't going nowhere 'till I build you that flux capacitor, and the first on is going on my DH bike. Humm... a waste eating, time travelling robo DH bike.

Why did, all of a sudden, Andy Kauffman/Jim Carey's redition of the Mighty Mouse theme song pop into my head... "Heeeeere I come to save the daaaaaay!"
