next thing you know we'll arm it with guns and missiles and i'll finally have my own battle mech :D

[admiralpat42]

but will it blend?

[johndecicco]

As an engineer myself (civil), I particularly like its ability to position itself in kind of a squatting position, and then jettison a robotic turd. AI and biology HAVE merged.

I'd love to see a passenger version of this. Shame John Deere seems to have killed this project altogether.

@UTubeIsTrackingYou Yeah but it'll look cool while it's on it's way :D

[Chaseoman]

We invented the wheel for nothing..

@UTubeIsTrackingYou You don't go out much, do you?

That thing can just set out towards any patch of land, and even if there wasn't a forest there at the time it started there will be one by the time it gets there.
