i’m waiting for the fishing bulldog robo-bat myself.

I can’t see a bat being nearly as much fun, or as potentially destructive as the ‘Roo.
the roo is cute, i’ll give it that.
but we could outfit the bats with lasers for eyes….

Too much power required for a truly worthwhile laser. Sure, you could blind people, but leaving behind a molten puddle is a much better effect.
I guess it’s OK, as long as you don’t need the device to be scalable…
.-= last blog ..Sick In Bed With The Medical Researcher =-.
It’s a damn good thing it’s not scalable. Imagine something like a main battle tank leaping and landing like that… such a thing should never be available to bored GIs – trust me on that.
