SWARM bot at Maker faire 2008

[TRGpwnez]

Rammus Metal skin!!

[scyduckzard2007]

"Atlasphere" from "American Gladiators"

[kelisseou]

Droidekas!

[MPSecare]

kinda creepy!

[SamuelDMorgan]

Alien tumble-weed!

[breakingthisdown]

And the use of that iiis...?

[XxWicklexrX]

Now add a Sentry.

[Robin18us]

It reminds me of the TV series, "The Prisoner"

[truthIsStranger]

Why is it that every time I see a new robot it's either

a) used for EVIL

or b) totally fucking secret, later to be used for EVIL

[THEoSNAPfilms]

gordan freeman better watch out

[lexichronicle2]

whoever made the shell has skillZ

[dauntSilver]

a new way to transport nukes. great.

[Qarrad]

бестолковая вещь

[LegoRobot19]

All it can do is roll it's pointless

[Lashmush]

@LegoRobot19 all the wheel could do was roll.

[Unitsixsoldier]

SWARM BOTS? And did cyberdyne make it by any chance? Why am I watching these videos all there doing is making me believe even more these guys have a T1000 stashed away somewhere

[TheSethral]

But will it blend??

[stavrozinio]

where's the hamster?

[evilmonkeymonster]

roller mine?!?! D:

[schenkel123]

Where is the swarm?

[GabrielTheViking]

i can do the same "throws football down a hill" 

[norchaaa]

@GabrielTheViking but that is flat place and nobody touched it :D

[1isaacmusic]

Send it to Mars.

[jednoucelovy]

it couldn't decide which part of the crowd slaughter first

[22bearsfan]

but will it blend?

[Allan13Monique]

Congratss, Youve Made A Ball That Moves On Its Ownn.

[yesidono]

Jigsaw has a new to to work on

[BluTrilobite]

I could see this, with a bit of modification, as a security drone for important places. What were those talking sphere bots in Terrahawks called?

[EwaltFpv]

you could cheat at bowling with those

[TheLego662]

There getting serious about HL2.

[bucketmonkeys]

@TheLego662 And yet, you are still not so serious about grammar?

[TheLego662]

@bucketmonkeys We Both like grammar. :D

[MrCarfen]

SOSTUPID

[jonasn5]

@MrCarfen please keep on topic and not just talk about yourself. :P

[imatelly]

honestly,whats the point in a big bal that rolles around,this would be boring after 5 min to any child,why dont people creat something worth creating,like a damn wind mill,but no a cell phone is more important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.oh and a big stupid ball that rols around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StormHornet56]

@imatelly A robot with an advanced artificial intelligence construct is very important to the advancement of mankind when space will be severely limited on planet Earth.

Do research before you make oblivious comments such as your own.

[NIN1024]

@StormHornet56 Agreed. I believe artificial intelligence is the next step in human evolution, we will combine in my opinion, like the Singularity.

[lonesoldier33]

That could certainly explain how Rollermines work in Half Life 2

[realloyd20]

what is it supposed to do

[albinolucario]

swarm bot blends blendtec blender

[marclebest]

I think I saw the hamster

[Polaf3456]

I dont see much "swarming" going on here lol...

[DragonHeart00926]

BALLS OF STEEL!!!

[ThleTruth]

the next robot war champion

[gh382]

needs shields lasers and the ability to mow down padawands

[hotjosh94]

i see two one

s not going? but there a good idea to play in the sand if you look up the guy's sand art

[DBogable]

is it a rat ball ?

[THENOCKER123]

Hi you are clever

[ZippyChan]

ROLLERMINE!

[oodoodanoo]

powered by a very bloody hamster

[jetstreek]

it could be a lawn mower

[waddlerobloxxxx]

thats not a swarmbot >_>

if its a swarmbot then ther shud be 100 of them

[tina6581]

@waddlerobloxxxx Mate a single bot can be a swambot. But not a swam of bots. All swambot means is a robot intended to work as one component of a larger group. So that implies that the group is made up of more than one bot. In essence you are saying he cant be a footballer as there should be eleven of them. And that is drivel son. So where you are getting this it must be one of a hundred thing from I cant image.

[daddyschlong14]

I'm sure there was a midget inside

[codename280]

WTF does it do ????

[thecoolster28]

i think there is a monkey inside...

[MTERM775]

What happens to it when it rolls down a Hill??

[VOLightPortal]

They should make a giant version like a steam roller that can flatten cities

[trey3stone]

Does it moo at 0:18?

[os0303s]

IT"S THE MINES FROM HALF LIFE 2!!! RRRRRUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!

[Evil9jim]

@os0303s ROLLERMINNNESSSS

[TheLivingSeven]

@pkemrin Except for the fact that you're enabling yourselves to be a whole lot more dangerous to each other.

[toddm160th]

4 million dollars of research to make a robotic ball. and one doesnt even work.

[aRomanSoldier]

It looks drunk.

[doubletriplerainbow]

I wonder how this would compare to a Busettii Electric bike ? They run 60 miles on a charge and weigh about 55 lbs. so that seems like its better. I see them at busettii.com web page. Any one ever rode a Busettii ?? Rainbow

[moviesinolywood]

Mad Hamsters: Beyond Thunderdome

[kaderoder]

1st there's midget tossing, now midgets in balls. Whats next- Midget catapult?

[scamullit]

It's the balls of Serious sam 2 Google image it.

[Allways27]

Mine got loose at the beach, tried to enter a volleyball tournament, and got arrested!

[thefox4114]

wow you made a rolling spher... next will you make a squar that sits there?

[SpaseCubeLtd]

its like combine roller mine from HL2

[D00ml0rdKazzak]

@SpaseCubeLtd Shhh...

Now go pick up that can.

[romeosafadi]

I never see these kinda Robot's "As for the people".

What I see is, America attaching razor blades on the sides, and rolling it of in 'peace rally's and so on.

fml :P

[danxl5]

Rat problem...

Fixed.

[trobinsond]

if one of them even tries to program its self to come my way i'd knock the wires out of it

[phrankus2009]

I'd like to put colored lights inside it and hang it over my kitchen table.

[4362mont]

They will make it faster and with protruding knives or machine guns or gas or a bomb and set it loose anywhere it's too dangerous to venture into...this is the model T as it were...riot control so that when we finally wake up and try and take this country back it will be too late...

[joshc007]

I can see it now. if the zombies don't kill us, after we nuke our self, then the robots will swarm together and kill us all.

[chodemufin]

wtf? man made tumble weed

[Thinkle911]

@chodemufin

wanna buy windbrahmin?

[kalimul]

Creepy

[darkmyth2]

gyroball?

[Brian29450]

ROLLERMINES!

[UrgentementeUK]

@Brian29450

LOL, exactly the first thing that came into my mind when I saw this!

The main thing I've done with Gary's mod is mess around with rollermines, now imagine the fun with one/many of these!

[pokamonmaster1997]

if these become fast and has spkes WERE DOOMED

[pps234]

i wanna run up and kick it to see if it gets pissed XD

[tjinga2u1]

@pps234 starts chasing you xD

[wifimonkey]

is its only function is to roll around?

[07buicklucerne]

Throw a block of cheese at it. Whala, shredded!

[grasthube]

this robots will make a lot of stoners happy

watching it roll for hours

[hackmun]

waaarrrgghh sphere attack

[midgetman0]

It's just a big cat toy...

[LilSayo]

Can this thing kill people?

[caketakeshh]

quick search for a grav gun and a some water

[IMTEHBRO]

are there any sharp edges to use these ballz for mowing youre grass or kill people?

[Aaron3502]

Somebody get me a gravity gun and a pool of water.

[ToX23in]

@Aaron3502 Eh... just dont drive near 'em,

[DChatc]

Uh, did anyone else read Second Variaty?

This reminds me way too much of that and Phanstasm.

[ninoBK2008]

so the good old times when u were supossed to hit the ball to move are done?

[TheDexboy]

Nice! By the way, is there a sound of a tesla coil in the background?

[vilxes91]

It's maker faire... The place in the world with most number of tesla coils per square meter...

[PrivateSlacker]

In the next version, the edges are razor sharp

[z98908]

and it makes French fries out of anything...

[pkemrin]

@PrivateSlacker I was just thinking that. What would stop them from making the edges razor sharp and placing a bullet proof layer under the outer layer, then upping the robots speed to a good 50-60kph and having hte military sending it into buildings containing terrorists.

We could save human lives that way. =)

[TheLivingSeven]

@pkemrin By making objects that consume human lives? Great thinking there...

[pkemrin]

@TheLivingSeven Some humans are dangerous. Creating weapons to stop them is one of the best ways to save the lives of the people they are a danger to.

[TheLivingSeven]

@pkemrin And then you guys end up as the dangerous humans.

[pkemrin]

@TheLivingSeven Dangerous to who? I wouldn't want to hurt anyone who wasn't in the business of killing people.

[TheLivingSeven]

@pkemrin Which would put you into the business of killing people.

[Sonyoooo3]

I so a hamster inside.

[beegburd]

pretty sweet

[virdvip]

Hey! This is carmageddon wheel! :-)

[VancouverCanucksRock]

i see a midget in there, robot, ha...

[phreezerburne]

looks like a roller mine from half life

[NightSoar]

oh shit..

[Oobie134]

grab your phys guns...

[pomeroy600287]

*shwoop*

aim....

*TCHOOM!*

headshot!

[3VOluutio]

thts nice

[999chunky]

Maybe that is what is used to create crop circles!

[popcorn32145]

does it mow the grass?

[OntDinRS]

@popcorn32145

You know. That's possibly the greatest idea ever. An autonomous lawn mower.

$?

[lzrd0113]

@popcorn32145 GREAT IDEA!!!

[BUGBUSTERss]

@popcorn32145 great idea! its like one of thos vacuum cleaners!

[theblasto]

that case alone is worth at least 4 stars. :)

[ThaNorwegianDude]

yeah
