:smallbiggrin: thats awesome! I love how its fingers move, it looks so real.
at the same time thats kind of scary. Its crazy thinking how far science will get in a decade if we already have these now.

Tai Chi... tai chi is OK. I'm not going to hide until they develop a Krav Maga-bot.

You know, one thing that's stuck with me from whatever sci-fi cartoon I first saw it in was future martial artists with robotic sparring partners (since accidentally hurting a robot is not an issue). Getting one step closer to that makes me really, really happy.

I can't wait until there's an amendment to the constitution giving Robots the right to vote. :smallbiggrin:

:smallsigh: No, you're not. Shotguns are for the zombie apocalypse. Robots are more likely to be armored, so you need something with better penetration, like an assault rifle.
