The idea was to take one industrial robot, add a laptop talking to a WiiMote, strap on a tennis racket, have it follow the swings that the user makes, and do it all in a few hours on a Saturday so we could get back to our busy schedules. Of course we had to put on a sword too, and if there was time, maybe an Airsoft gun. Also, we wanted it to fight people, but you can’t have everything.

Everyone in this country had a dream back in the 40's and 50's. The Dream was flying cars.

The Japanese had a different, and I feel better dream.

Walking Tanks.

I hope the Japanese win that race. ;)
