- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25How long before they kill the crew, take over the ISS, and lauch nukes from space?
- marsrover21, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22It's not exactly a battle droid, though. Is it?
- Durrok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Naw, if he was the Comic Book guy he would have said "Worst. Article. Ever."
- pidge, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20"Begun The Clone Wars Have"
- banjk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Next planned robot? A Roombah!
- Kazanoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12not at all, someone needs to freshen up on they're star wars robotics.
- threepio, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Oh, everyone has such a hard on for the BATTLE droids.
No respect for your average Astromech or *gasp* Protocol droids.
I'm only an expert in Human-Cyborg relations - fluent in six million forms of communication... with a brain the size of small universe - what could I possibly know?
Oh dear. I'm terribly sorry about that. I really have to stop associating with my cousin Marvin. Every time I visit I come back with this horrible pain in my diodes, it's quite disturbing. - banjk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Hmmm...let me think about that. No.
Are you the Comic Book guy from the Simpsons? - iluvdrbonner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8They seem pretty smart. Let's just hope they don't work together and attack the astro/cosmonauts. Are there any videos of it in action anywhere?
- adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9oh come on, thats still pretty cool! It's a first step...now they just need to mount some lasers to those things, build my lightsaber, and get on with the training!
- Durrok, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Next thing you know we will all have robots named "helper" following us around, assisting us with various tasks, serving as a dialysis machine, etc...
- doafhat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7"The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots. Thank you."
- rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10I thought it read Inteernational Space Station Gets 'Roids
- elpayo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kids."
- exoir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4THEY MEAN "REMOTES"! What Luke used for training in SW:ANH. Luke never fought with a battle droids!
- cheez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4no, it's a sparring droid. the battle droids are only seen in the new trilogy
- subscribtion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Dammit! These are not the droids I'm looking for.
- Piper7865, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4That's from the Simpsons. Specificaly the episode where Bart gets sent to military school and Lisa enrolls too. The Commander of the schools says that in his speech during their graducation.
- laddie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3they arent exactly training "Jedi" too... now are they?
- elpayo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3'Carbon Dioxide. They call it pollution. We call it life.' - Your friendly neighborhood global oil company
- Gaidorade, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4i wonder if these come with funny-looking skins to put on them.
- WermerSkoch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Sorry, it just irks me too much to see that "word." ;) From dictionary.com:
ir·re·gard·less Audio pronunciation of "irregardless" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-gärdls)
[Probably blend of irrespective, and regardless.]
Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so. - twinklyJesus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3MMMMMM hamburger, helper.
- Tyrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm sure the life support systems onboard just love carbon dioxide being sprayed out of those things as fuel. :-P
- Piper7865, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"But with the blast shield down I won't be able to see!!"
- sapo916, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3wan't? Hehe, beautiful.
- thewierdone2000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Thats rather awsome...
I wan't one with a "personality", that will follow me around and stuff ;-) - graemee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5one word.
Skynet - quicksilver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3and call you "meatbag"?
- commodore64, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I would love somebody to just show me a scene from star wars and say: "build that".
- aoe2bug, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2you're gonna build a scene from star wars?
- tylerni7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I've seen the red one in a news story a few years ago... these have been around for quite a while. Still cool though.. digg++
- Rufasevach, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Sweet article! Irregardless of the title being a tad silly, the progression of robotic, not to mention artificial intelligence is very heartening :-)
- rishubhav, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Are you kidding me?? The ISS is already the super Transformer!!
"Transformers - robots in disguise" - crawfishsoul, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I've come to the realization that articles on Digg that refer to robots have the innate ability to spawn countless comments about light sabers, Yoda speak, and general nonsense statements about the robotic large breasted girlfriends in our not-so-distant future, with absolutely no useful contributions.
Freakin' awesome. - cheez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2the databank answers all questions
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2yea, the thing he is referring to in star wars is not a battle droid at all. reported as inaccurate
- crumpy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3You dorks, this is not a battle droid. This is much more like a training remote. See here: http://www.starwars.com/databank/technology/trainingremote/index.html
I swear, if it doesn't have to do with an ipod or a macbook pro burning a hole is someone's lap, diggers have no clue what's going on. - Nighthawke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That is exactly what they are; practice remotes. In Ep I you saw the survellance bots Darth Maul used to scout Mos Espa for his quarry. You might say that these are more closely related to the 'bots than the little zapper Luke tangled with in EP III. Now if you put a nerf or a softair launcher in one of those bots then you are getting there.
- subscribtion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1^Excuse me, but what is that from? I can't remember where I've seen/heard that before, it's driving me nuts!
- subscribtion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1TY, I was thinking the Simpsons but I couldn't think of the episode.
- banjk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1OMG. The Battle Droid Debate is killing me!
Let me just set it straight...floating mirror balls.
Ahhh...now take a deep breath...let the healing begin.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. - fallscrape, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Was I the only one who saw this and thought halo/oracle?
o_0 - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1D'oh! I wasn't fast enough for the quote! My jedi reflexes are dwindling
- F9Phoenix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Death Star here we come!!!!
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Let's not forget interrogator droids.
http://www.starwars.com/databank/droid/ito/index.html
I think that's what it really is. They're going to use the space station as a secret CIA prison to interrogate terrorists and illegal aliens.
