Robo-One

yes, this topic is kind of old, but I have new videos for it

For those who missed the old thread, people are now building human like robots that are somewhat affordable for people like me and you (if $1000/1500 is afordable)

Anyway, on to the videos

Think we'll be able to get real "helper" type robots in our life time? Wonder how far along they are from getting them to get the balance and stuff down. Power would be a big concern too.

I don't know what will happen with power. If the joke that is Hydrogen Power cells actually comes to frutation then maybe power won't be a question.

But yeah, maybe. God only knows how much they will cost.

holy shit, a transformer

.......so far all of the consumer bots are 20k and up I think. The functions are pretty limited, but the whole idea is that the tech is getting better. So just in case we should all buy a shotgun and fill it with magnetized buckshot just in case we gotta put down "Ol' Geeves2.0" for breaking grandmas hip and revolting against puny humans.

i so need one of these. I want one modded with wifi, a camera head, and a paintball gun.
