  • By the time he plugged it in, he'd be out of power...lol. Wouldn't it be best to use a dual-eye system to calculate the exact x,y,z position relative to it's arm, then use that calculation to move the arm into an offset position and push the plug in? Or have you not gotten that far in artificial intelligence yet?

  • bitch i can do it in 2 seconds

  • I've been talking to the ships computer... and... it hates me.

  • Or we could just plug it in ourselves...

  • well if you teach a man to fish...

  • wow .. nice :)

  • @sabriath haha LOL

  • @Truthiness231

    I was gonna say something like that. Right on

  • therandomawsome

    Givin this is non optical, cplors, patterns are not relevent. As for other regions, may as well not use any type of electrical device

  • EDIT Bah, meant *task* not *taste*... really not sure how that happened... ^.^

  • What a waste of money... perhaps wait another 10 years for software to catch up with the dreams of modern designers? Honestly, and I'm not even joking about this, a monkey could have been trained to do this taste faster and cheaper than the fucking machine...

    Also what morpher44 suggests would be more than doable (Faraday could have done it like 100 years ago..), plus it would be faster, more reliable, more versatile, and even cooler than plugging something in. Total fuck-fail all around. =/

  • Nothing new here except for the slow EM method of alignment.
