We are well aware of it. I have been working with Brian Wilcox, the Principal Investigator for ATHLETE, for the better part of the past 20 years. Brian is one of the most creative and innovative robotics experts that I have ever met, and he never ceases to amaze us with the cool stuff he creates. He has been the creative force behind many JPL robotics projects, including the Sojourner Mars rover, the MUSES-C Nano-rover, the Remote Surface Inspection robot, the RAMS robotic surgery robot, the Robotic Percussive Drill, and many others.

No promises, but if there is some real interest in doing so, we may see if ATHLETE is available to bring to the 2008 Championship in Atlanta for everyone to see.

Heh heh heh. Oh, I don't know. I think the Robonaut and Spidernaut teams might argue with you on that one. But either way, as they say, "you ain't seen nothin' yet!"
