Walking Car Robot Thing

This is cool…

and if the various talks in the background of the other videos are to be believed, it’s actually a concept car.

And it can go up stairs – which will come in handy etc.

Is it me, or is there a hell of a lot of energy being expended on inventions that aren’t actually for anything?

Not that I mind of course. It’s kindof like we’re learning to walk.

An ode to Cognitive Surplus.

A celebration of the inventive backwaters of the human spirit... a celebration of people who would appear to have far too much time on their hands...

A celebration of laterality.

If you come they will build it.

By knowledge shall the spheres be filled.
