  • mnemy, on 06/13/2008, -2/+7Send robots shaped like fish, and small enough to be eaten by predators, to go on environmental missions. Great idea there guys. Cuz choking on trash bags that resemble jelly fish just wasn't good enough.

  • DonSlice, on 06/13/2008, -2/+1So.. Is there an aquatic version of Sarah Connor?
  • ancientdinko, on 06/14/2008, -1/+0Judging that most human based oil contamination in the oceans seeps from the land, robo fish might better serve the public by handing out quickie lube coupons at the aquarium.
    (Besides wouldn't schools of robo fish just direct birds and predators etc. to the oil spills?)
