Hey tica tica,

Found a rock or two and took some pitures. I'll get them to you. Very interesting.

The way that thing could keep it's balance when kicked and when sliding on the ice is what freaks me out about it. I know the whole goal is to eventually simulate a human's movements but something about robots that life like worries me. I will say that is impressive from a technological advancement standpoint.

That is too cool. SOB can carry a $*&^ load of decoys and ammo, whatever. My guess is at least $500,000.

What the hell is that a picture of? Are you removing something that was stuck on a glass door? Are you refering to the white spots on the pic? Need help......
