That 1 minute cost about $7.5M to air

Such a sad commercial. Makes me feel all depressed. :)

Yeah, did you hear that desperate gulp when he jumped ? That was horrible. Poor, poor thingy...

Mind you, Ive been without a job for 6 years now and still havent given up. Shows that Im superior to machines.

Perhaps you are a machine

From close and personal view I can garanty Babs is no machine.

But the biggest give away is her way with words and ego crushing ability.

Testing one of the latest and newest designed rides lol, the Robot arm ride...

LOL.
Thats the ride they had at Birminghams Star City... and after 2 weeks of opening, it got stuck upside down where 2 passengers as it was a 2 seater got stuck for an hour while fire crews had to cut them out but had to be careful about the hydralics or something and so on. All good fun.

Mr Stu

I soooooo want a go on that!

There was also a case of that happening at a travelling fair. but i think it was a bigger version than the two seater

Have you not seen the RoboCoaster?
Wayne and I were one of the first people to go on it!
It was at Star City for quite some time, and e managed to get 6 goes each for 50p :)

Thats the one lol. Although thats on the slowest mode, it does go alot faster than that.

the wonders of fanuc robots :)

Well it made me smile!..

A New Yorker walked into a very high-tech bar. As he sat down on a stool he
noticed that the barkeeper was a robot. The robot clicked to attention and
asked, Sir, what will you have?

The man thought for a moment then replied? A martini please.

The robot clicked a couple of times and mixed the best martini the man had
ever had.

The robot then asked, Sir, what is your IQ?

The man answered Oh, about 164...

The robot then proceeded to discuss the theory of relativity, inter-stellar
space travel, the latest medical advances, etc.......

The man was most impressed. He left the bar but thought he would try a
different tact. He returned and took a seat. Again the robot clicked and
asked what he would have? A Martini please.

Again it was superb. The robot again asked What is your IQ sir?

This time the man answered , Oh about 100. So the robot started discussing
motor racing, the latest basketball scores, and what to expect the Dodgers
to do this week end.

The guy had to try it one more time. So he left, returned and took a
stool.... Again a martini, and the question, What is your IQ???

This time the man said Uh.....about 50 .

The robot clicked, then leaned close and very slowly asked,
W-h-y.........d-i-d .........y-o-u.....v-o-te ......f-o-r ......B-u-s-h?

News Flash!

hey ive gone 15 days without alcohol, however i would still proberbly fail a sobriety test, not coz im drunk jus coz im very very special

:rofl:

I find those tests very unfair personally.

I consider myself doing a very bad job of walking in a straight line when Im sober...

If I was drunk, Id fall right down and right away. :crazy:

A must-have for all roboteers!:) (except Mr Danby! :wink: )

suppose it could do cans of coke :sad:

16 days in, ive lost weight, im physically fitter, my IQ has improved, as has my concentration and i can think clearly for the first time since i started drinking ITS HORRIBLE

Geoff, I think I saw something similar to that on Battlebots...

Now I remember. Fon Davis of Team Catbot had a robot that served him like a butler. It would bring him bottles and cans of anything he had in the fridge. It even did the vacuuming and dusting!

Kinda beats the point of having a wife, eh? :wink:

Dont hurt me. :proud:

I am really considering building something like this

looks like a potential face plant. you want to build one of these :) http://www.metacafe.com/watch/468993/jetmanhttp://www.metacafe.com/watch/468993/jetman

Whoa. Any chance of mass-producing them Alistair? :)

Just discovered this website if anyones looking for a fun summer project or two (or if youre looking for a way to use all those cheap-ass Bosch motors on eBay :))

Saw it linked in a post on the Technobots forum then discovered the guy who created it is acting as Chief Engineer for one of our course projects at uni - tis a small world sometimes!

You gotta check this one!
