  • diceau, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2Cute, , but seriously, awesome tech.
  • kevdotbadger, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2They smell the same as my femaledroid.
  • GlassAgate, on 06/14/2008, -0/+1If they can be used to collect oil, from oil
    spills, that would be handy. Perhaps they
    could filter out the water, process the oil,
    use was they can to fuel themselves, and
    excrete the waste product.

    Perhaps when nanotech goes into high gear,
    this could happen. Could it happen now?
    I don't know. It would be a neat idea, however.
  • Sengara, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1They couldn't make a video showing them working together?
  • synik, on 06/12/2008, -1/+2but more importantly... do they blend?
  • Fire4Effect, on 06/12/2008, -1/+2The Cylons were created by man......
  • mbrindam, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1ill-tempered robo-sharks, with lasers on their heads.
  • GlassAgate, on 06/14/2008, -0/+1That's a scary thought.

    Hmmm...

    That would make a good horror movie.
  • WITFITS, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1What's next, piranhas persuaded to walk on dry land?
  • Vuredel, on 06/13/2008, -0/+1Hello partially eaten robotic fish!

  • roflbrothel, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1ROBO FISH WITH FRICKIN LAZ-what?

    Oh, sorry, I thought this was 1997...
  • Mactrekr, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1Ok, cool, but exactly how much thorazine is flowing through the narrators veins??? I'm going to play that audio track for my kid to put him to sleep!
  • sotose, on 06/12/2008, -0/+0Call me back when you got some robo-sharks that work together wirelessly.

  • mdmiamifl, on 06/12/2008, -0/+0This is really cool. Now maybe you could use the money that was used to make the fish for something useful, like............ medicine or helping the national debt in the U.S.
  • seanberry, on 06/12/2008, -4/+4This project seems to be going swimmingly.
  • Space579, on 06/12/2008, -0/+0FISHI-KOMA!
