- taketheleap, on 06/11/2008, -0/+10I, for one, welcome our Canadian Robotic Overlords...
***** eh. - mixmax1, on 06/11/2008, -1/+8It can be attached a lot of places and it's not a japanese robot, It's Canadian built in Quebec...
- claytonjs, on 06/11/2008, -0/+6Actually Canada built that robot.
- Brododium, on 06/11/2008, -1/+4ROB finally fulfilled his dream to become an astronaut.
- zombieball, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2The Canada-Arm moves it from section to section. There are anchor points around the station that the robot can be attached to and left at, however.
- legendxx, on 06/11/2008, -1/+3I thought it had to be attached to the Canada-Arm? How does it move from section to section?
- matt510, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2I wasn't the one who submitted the article (why would anyone care whose article makes the front page?). I am not so concerned about who submitted it or when it was submitted, it just seems that the Digg that the actual article points to should be the one dugg.
- tak84, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2thats what they want you to believe
- markp93, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2the humans are dead... yes affirmative
- bouche, on 06/11/2008, -1/+3I've got news for you. ANY of the APOD submissions (regardless of their quality), are much more interesting the most of the posts that appear on the Digg front page.
And ONE post a day can be SOOOOO hard to ignore, I know. But just try to use the time it takes to write your lame complaint and just move along. - matt510, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1"Dextre is a sophisticated two-armed robot, part of Canada's contribution to the International Space Station. Canadarm2, a moveable work platform called the mobile base, and Dextre form the Mobile Servicing System. These three robotic elements can work together or independently."
If the Canadian Space Agency (the folks the made Dextre) calls it a robot, I am sold.

- friedcalamari, on 06/11/2008, -2/+2That’s not a robot, that’s a RC mechanical arm. Learn the difference.
- inactive, on 06/11/2008, -1/+1Why? This post came 2 minutes before the other post.
Sorry you didn't get the front page recognition. We can't always be winners.
Maybe next time. - ELLIS1128, on 06/11/2008, -2/+2awesome.
