Chris - Have fun there! (I'm hiking, in these days)
Eggshell Robotics - Hm, hm. Is this a robot? Well, sure it is. What is a factory-belt robot? Is this a robot? Not sure at all? In fact, they are just machines, right? But... there is a significant pattern underneath, that you also mention indirectly: what defines a robot? Do they have rights (or wrongs)? Check "Roboethics" i.e on this blog, to dig deeper into that one.
mo. - Is this really a robto? To me, this is more a stoopid machine. How do you define a robot? What is a robot?
Dean - Hey that is tops, Especially like the high speed cameras
Eggshell Robotics - Well, Mr. Roboto. Could you be a little more precise the next time you post a link or write a comment? The general website on interactive-robotics is very general and don't really show what you mean.
Mr.Roboto - Check out the latest ice cream robot on the market! http://interactive-robotics.com/
Nomad - i was waiting for one of the robots to shoot off a missile and annihilate one of the other other robots
Eggshell Robotics - Well, okay then. It shows the phenomena of the effect. Thanks for pointing this out.
