something I had wondered for a little while, if it were possible to put some of these computers/robots driving cars, trucks, tanks, planes etc, could ride a motorbike.. but I'm not quite geeky enough to figure out.. While looking for something completely different, I came across this site tho, and it looks like these guys are geeky enough!

Just sucked 40 clips (536mb) from their site on how the robot works and how it rides, and I'll watch them during lunch to see how it goes.. just thought it might be interesting for a few others too ;)

Would be quite a task. The car driving ones had enough problems in the trials they did in the States. The bike ones could be more of a danger than even me.

Edit: 200 posts - by gar I talk some shite!
