- TheZetetic, on 10/11/2007, -7/+92Jesus-bot?
- thenativeraver, on 10/11/2007, -4/+44Can it turn water into wine?
~crosses fingers - mrj5550, on 10/11/2007, -5/+45I bet its a transformer.
- LucasVB, on 10/11/2007, -1/+31What about after three days?
- BufordT, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17You're lucky, I still picture Number 5 from Short Circuit in my head when someone mentions a robot.
- Xylem, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Put some soap in the water and watch it drown. I had a crazy chem teacher in college that brought in some water striders. He put some soap in the water to break the surface tension and laughed as they drowned. It was the best lesson on surface tension I ever had, but I don't think PETA would like it.
- wm2010russ, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15we are all screwed. terminators will have jesus capabilities
- venom8599, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Now I know what happened. Someone sent Jesus-bot back in time... Trippy paradox...
- adrenalmedulla9, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Holy cow! Look what I found!
"Researchers say they have received several comments about their 'Water Bot' that relate it to the miracles of the Bible character, Jesus. Because of this massive amount of remarks, they have actually started to work on a second model just for the fans. It will essentially work in the same way but will be shaped as what most would perceive to be Jesus..." - Catchpen, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10That's what she said
- asforme, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8That would be diluted wine. Try adding brandy.
- dezmo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8lol, perfect timing
- ewc80, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7The way I read it the water has to be at least 3 - 4 mm
- venom8599, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7We'll just have to build a Judas-bot then.
- GoldYoshi, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9@Renton
Too bad it says it "walks on water", not "floats" - blahtastic, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8Johnny 5 is alive!
- tdawson2012, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Its water surface tension. Assuming the water is relatively calm, it can be 4 miles deep for all the robot cares.
- MattKamineko, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Walter Strider? </jackie chan>
- steppingrazor, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Your momma was a snowblower!
- Markpdotcom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3To kill John Conner?
- Shriker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I want to see it move. :(
- haydesigner, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Renton does have his own 'reply' button.
Just like you have yours. - greatkingrat85, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4So Jesus walks into a bar....
- moofer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2People for the Elimination of Tension Attributes? I think they'd totally digg on that experiment.
- SLIPSTR3AM, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2video or it didn't happen.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Due to your support of ron paul, I'll let you slide....*****.
Actually, nevermind, ***** your mother. - wjackson, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Why did I expect to see Optimus Prime defying the laws of gravity?
*sigh* - ad0beaddict, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Left) Photo of the water strider insect.
umm..it has no pics of it actualy walking on water thats a bug... - RedOnRust, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords
- hulk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1wonder what the time between recharges is on that little thing.
- archd3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1FTA: "Water strider robots—we call them STRIDEs (Surface Tension Robotic Insect Dynamic Explorer)—can walk on water only 3-4 mm deep (shallow water),"
- hydroplane, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Your own....personal....jesus.....robot
- moofer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You got the lyrics totally wrong - it's "Jerimiah was a bullfrog...)
- eshiki, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1*Ouch*
- cyano805, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Here is a link to a paper that has more pictures of the water robot in action.
http://www.roboticsproceedings.org/rss01/p42.pdf - bodycoach2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1It was only assumed the second coming would be a man. I was hoping for a woman, something like Madonna, maybe? The second coming -first if your Jewish, never if you're Muslim- might be one of these little buggers.
- RamezaniK, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1No digg. Transitively, you could say the Titanic walked on water (until it hit an iceberg).
- funkytaco, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2elwell is right. This is old and has been on digg before, with video even.
- Renton, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4Yeah, I was expecting something humanoid. They might as well attact a computer to a boat's motor and call it a "floating robot"
- monkeyod, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Little know fact: Jesus was a robot.
- basacis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0All praise to robo jesus
- FKCommander, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Piff. Call me when it turns into a semi.
- theGOG, on 10/11/2007, -7/+5it only walks on water 3-4mm deep... so basically we have a device that can monitor puddles.
- Andr50, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0First there was normal Jesus.
Then, there was shark Jesus.
Coming, this summer, the Jesus to own all others.
ROBOT JESUS.
Because who needs a salvation when you've got piezoelectric actuators? - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2Fine.
Where's you're *insert deity* now? - elwell, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2this is old.
- tech42er, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1That's not too difficult. Just add wine.
- scubasteve11, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3Did anyone else expect it to be... bigger?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -6/+2Robot Jesus!
