Yeah, but by my post I meant run at human speed. The robots now can run at maybe half that? I'm not sure of the figures but that robot is pretty awesome! User was banned for: Poll: Round 5 - Field of Four - (1) Turbine vs (1) Nintendo. (Permanent) |

Possibly, but mine is named Xerxes. As long as Skynet doesn't use Linux we'll all be fine. With any Luck Norton designed it's security systems and it'll turn on itself. Shortest war ever...
They way that thing moves it reminds me of a quadropedal Hunter, very cool but also slightly disturbing. |

Well we have robots that can walk, and recover from being kicked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1czBcnX1Ww We also have robots that can shoot guns: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRKksfKDIto So we can combine the two! Edit:
Argh, you posted while I was finding the videos. |

I don't know how much problem solving would get done before we're all destroyed in a nuke storm, but it'd be fun to see before we die. |

Sounds like a solid plan. |

I can't recall exactly when, its been a few years since I last saw them. And if Skynet doesn't kill us, we're done for in 2012 anyway. December 12th, 2012 to be exact. |

I think i'll have to become a vampire hunter myself then. And i forgot to mention Buffy! Damn that was close |
Anonymous Source Posts: 1 Joined: 27 Jan 2009 | Couple of thoughts here... Sarah and John Connor have managed to delay the launch of Skynet until 2011 - See "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" for details. Linux IS Skynet - as soon every govt is using it, boom. The human infestation will be dealt with. Enjoy 2009! |
Press Junketeer Posts: 379 Joined: 6 Nov 2008 | I think it's time to listen to New Frontier by Steely Dan a couple times. It mellows me out while making the idea of living in a fallout shelter appealing. |

Copy Clerk Posts: 97 Joined: 2 Aug 2008 | I'm still pissed that Transformers was released in 2007 and not 2005. Speaking of which, where are our sentient robotic friends? Optimus Prime would whoop Skynet's ass. |
