Big Bad Al's New Toy

I have a new toy to play with. A RoboRoach. Actually it is a HexBug... A Robotic Cockroach.


It scurries around the place and when it runs into a wall or object it changes direction. It also changes direction in response to loud noise.

The sales guy said it couldn't be reprogrammed. That sounds like a challenge to me.

I am going to try and program my Leggo Robot to chase it and maybe shoot it with a Smurf Gun. Although the Robot is faster so it may just stomp on it instead. I might have to make some armour for RoboRoach.

Stay good and be kind to each other.

Looks pretty cool, give the leggo robot a flame thrower!

Actually that reminds me of a story a Brissie based relo once told me. There was a cane toad in his driveway, so he pored kero on it and set it alight. The little bugger got its own back by jumping into the bushes on the side of the driveway, setting the bushes alight which spread to the garage and burnt his garage down.

I like those toys to, I have the Lego Dark side development kit and a Roboraptor.

Naut a skewer prevents issues like that.

It needs to spit something.

Naut I did try that but the little Turncoat Bastard nearly set fire to me.

Bangar If RoboRaptor actually flew I would have one also.

Moko Spitting Fire Acid would be good.

Don't you have real cockroaches there? Big ones the size of a platter that are venomous? If not, why not?

YD, I see you know about our smaller breed of Cockroaches, The Northern Hairy Nose Cockroach, found mainly in northern coastal regions.

Surely you should be able to mount some sort of fire power on top? I have seen these in the shops, as long as it wasn't too heavy you would be fine.
Either way, enjoy the toy.

Coincidence that Terminator:Salvation starts next week? I think not.

Big Bad Al said...

DD Itis not a "toy". It is a serious bit of Robotics Technology. I shall enjoy my "Experimentation".

Mr Barnes My issue with the Terminator Films and their ilk is that it lulls humans into believing that we can easily beat the machines when they rise. We should be acting before they rise. My "experimentation" will help us understand the machines and how we can defeat them.

Toy, robot, executive indulgence, whatever. You need two of them and you need to either race 'em or fight 'em. And collect bets.
