Have you Heard the News about Carniverous Robots???

Yes, I am talking "Meat Eaters"

There are at least 5 of them in the entire world. I hope to add to that list and make mine cariverous as well.

This is so cool, I can hardly sit still.··· The robot eats the fly and then places the meal in a fuel cel where it digests it and it generates more energy for the robot.·· Some of them live only off of the insects supplying power from the fuel cel. Some of the robots eat animals as large as mice.

Cool, huh?

Do a Google Search for Carniverous Robots and find out.

    I would never do harm to a mammal. But, bugs are another story.

    I guess bugs are fair game since they'll eat all of us eventually! smile.gif

    You know how these robots have a habit of evolving.
    In due course, they may work their way up the food chain.
    Larger robots will need larger food sources.
    First its bugs, then mice and squirrels, on to deer and
    antelope, and finally, well, you guessed it!!!
    The future application is a road kill cleaning up robot.
    I like the idea in "Back to the Future," where the Delorean
    could be fueled on garbage and molecular power.
    A garbage eating recycling robot would be welcomed in
    cities across the nation. It just goes around picking up
    litter and eating it.

    Right now they only move about 1-3 cm an hour on the fuel cell. But, that will change.
