That was sick, the only thing that I thought was missing was a video of the car transforming into the robot and vise versa. But other than that all i can say is where can i get one. lol

Just like the Transformers back in the 80's. I think I still have a few. They also had a cartoon too.

Who knows, maybe 10 or 20 years from now we'll be building robots like this for FIRST. Opps, I better not give Dave Lavery any hints! ;) Just think of the autonomous program you'd have to write. :D

this reminds me of the Asimo robot that Honda built.

Asimo robot???????????? :confused: wats that?

Re: mini cooper robot?
 

yeah, it's a robot built by honda that is able to simulate human movements, like walk or carry. Honda had a great commercial featuring it too.

Here's the website for it

While I understand the complexity in making a robot walk, ASIMO's marketing campaign really is mostly, well, marketing. The technical achievements, while still amazing, aren't as amazing as they make them seem.

The MINI robot is computer generated.
