Cool new robot
http://www.wimp.com/transformercar/
Here is the coolest RC car I've ever seen, and only $24,000! I'll bet it took a long while to fab up the first one and program it, getting all those parts to interface without binding or having too loose or tight a tolerance, multiple subroutines for each motion to make it all look smooth and work properly. That's a heap of engineering. Lots of man-weeks. Now to figure out exciting new places to use the technology... -- A mind, like a home, is furnished by its owner, so if one's life is cold and bare he can blame none but himself. -- Louis L'Amour |

Gunner The methodology of the left has always been: 1. Lie 2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible 3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible 4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie 5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw 6. Then everyone must conform to the lie |
