It's not a waste of time at all - just because it's an early idea, doesn't make it a waste. You wouldn't say the wright brother's plane was a waste of time, just because it only flew 200 feet.
no offence in me saying, but why exactly would you go out and build a giant insect when you could just look at one in your nearest garden? Wouldn't M1A1 abrams be better of?
@whitetyger00 Because we will become fat asses that can't do anything by ourselves. Having all done by machines will affect our self steem and we will become useless and ungrateful animals. It's good to take care of one self, The idea of having slaves, even if they're machines, is just disgusting.
You make a very valid point. One thing I'm not sure if you meant self-esteem or you meant self steam to be like motivation to go out and be productive. either way I more or less agree with you, but why would my self esteem be lower if i had something to do all my labor activities for me?
You mean to tell me your so liberal you would fight for robot rights? roflmao. You're essentially saying we should pay wages to industrial robots that build things or the little robot that runs around on the ground and vacuums...
It's not right to enslave something that has a will of its own like sentient life. Something like a robot can only make choices that have been programmed into it. There is no such thing as free will in machines. Don't treat them like they are higher lifeforms.
To go where no wheeled or tracked vehicle would dare go. Over collapsed buildings, rubble and really dense jungles. Just give the technology time to mature.
good! when will vehicles like this be available? nature does not have a wheel as we do; this should tell us that wheels may be replaced by walking legs in certain instances.
then why are they not able to use it against taliban and in iraq? inpractical is it? and who is US enenimies? Isnt it US that is occuping territory? that makes US the biggest dictator enemy of all
this is more environmentally friendly. No huge track trails. As they claim.
If i understand it correctly this is meant to be equipt with forestry equipment. Current equipment leaves track trails that slow down the forest ability to recover.
And it can turn on a dime or can it. You selling me a bill of goods? I can sue you for bad design, think what you're getting into. One apology and I'll forget the whole thing.
bad design you say, first of all what can some cool design do if it is useless just like your bipedal walking robot wherein if its legs are disabled or its joints it would become useless. then again, which is the bad design now!
You see the size of those legs? Disabled joints? Not likely. I see you evaded my question on turning. See you in court my dear, hope you got a good lawyer. You need it.
what? first of all what is the sense of all of this goddamn suing thing. first of all its nonsense, second we are only having some third rate discussion here. i am just posting my comments not recommending, just pointing out and comparing differences. then how the fuck did i violate some international treaty or law here that you go suing me? nonsense!
In my universe, Here's the way it works. Because you speak so favorably about the virtues of the mechanical insect that can't do anything other than impress unsavvy techies like yourself, makes you an accessory and accomplice to a crime of bad design. I'm therefore coming after you for all your worth Unless you agree the other one is better and will always be.
yeah, agreed bipedal machines are good... unless they are only 10 feet tall. well, i was thinking of war machines here and situation in iraq that's why i was able to think of those ideas. anyways... yeah, i think the two legs are at least better.
...fine i give up. the design of two legs are better. the reason i am siding with this insect is yeah indeed the concept of this thing here impresses me. i think you don't need to know the reason behind why i am impressed in that sucky design of that robot in which we two agree indeed. but there's a saying that "more legs are better than two" but oh well... speaking of the design alone... "yeah, the design of this one is worse compared to the flashy two-legs".
I got to take a closer look at the insect and now realize what you're saying. It is amazingly whimsical. I agree, it's better. Sorry for the headache I caused you. Maybe we can still be friends and have a good virtual laugh(LOL). Hope you won't counter sue me, ok?
don't worry, i aint gonna do that... first of all, i came from a third world country i got no resources to do something like that. secondly, you have some point in your statement. don't worry i openly accepted your side of the argument. i did not took it much seriously.
Not Bad? Is that all? I was totally, I mean totallllly floored at the fluidity of this thing. I never knew something like it existed, did you? Maybe I will sue you for lack of understanding the immense implication of it all. Holy cow, what does it take to impress you? Where you're from, you must already have anti-gravity, flying saucers and ray guns and travel to Alpha Centauri (our nearest neighboring star) and back regularly. Know what I'm saying?
compared to asimo i say not bad... but i say in overall its impressive! sorry, i somehow lack in my choice of words, english is not my primary language you know.
i mean, i stand corrected ok? that new TOYOTA i-foot (2) robot is as impressive as asimo. that is what i meant, sorry if i rushed my statement that time.
fine fine, first of all, forgive me for not paying much attention. secondly, what's the drama of this suing thingy. again, it is some random opinions i am spouting out here not recommendations or promoting or even selling something at you. and now i don't get the idea of you suing me for such trivial reasons!
in the original c&c i accidentally sent all my commandos over a tib field to the enemy base and they all exploded in a ball of flames (this happened on ps1 version)
