Amazing video at: http://www.festo.com/INetDomino/coorp_sites/en/22ff224c0cba8e40c12572d60033d076.htm
Massive 14 foot wingspan, 9 feet long, weighing in at only! 3.5 lb (boyancy assisted by helium)
Imagine working in an office building where this thing "flys" around in the 4 story atrium. I wouldn't get any work done for watching this thing all day.

I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code
People say that if you play Microsoft CD's backwards, you hear satanic things, but that's nothing, because if you play them forwards, they install Windows.
I spent a minute looking at my own code by accident. I was thinking "What the heck is this guy doing?"
I built this robot with Lego Mindstorms NXT then made a CAD model of it! If you would like building instructions let me know.
I named it Theodore because of its cute looks. : )

When it isn't on my desk for repairs, it's mounted on a mobile drilling rig used to take rock samples during road and tunnel planning.
(Yes, the body is 1mm STEEL plate, and the front beezel is machined and anodized steel. )
Not 80.000 leagues under the sea, but...
This picture WAS taken from the comfort of a bus at 287meters below the sea, in an as of yet unfinished tunnel...
What we see is the opening into the 'overflow reservoir' which is supposed to handle up to 3 days worth of seepage in the case that both the two independent pump systems fails.

You can't deny that the Propeller has done just what one of their ads say "Makes programming fun again!"
