Hmm... Is this what we get when someone crosses an Ohmu with a Roomba?
If only it had the articulation when turning... |

That's completely awesome, in a slightly terrifying sort of way. I hope they don't make a full-scale version, though.

looks alright, although unfortunately it looks like its moving on wheels rather then legs segments under the thing. -w-;; Those things were suppose to move kind of like a caterpillars aren't they?

I would so buy a Roomba if it looked like that! I... actually think it's kinda cute...

Pretty cool. I would seriously consider buying one of these, if they were to ever become available. If a model should be developed that could operate on rough surfaces outdoors it would be truly awesome.

Did anyone else think of the Protoss Reavers when they saw this robot?

I didn't! Hmm. /me googles "Protoss Reaver". Ah... I don't think that I've ever played any flavor of that game, but I have known what an Ohmu (or "Ohm", as I believe that it's officially subtitled here in R1-land) was since I first saw the movie in 1991 or 1992. |
