Re: 2011 Game Hint #1

i just wikipedia'd locomotion and one of the things that came up was "Robot Locomotion"
here's the quote from Wikipedia...

Quote:
Robot locomotion is the study of how to design robot appendages and control mechanisms to allow robots to move fluidly and efficiently. Although wheeled robots are typically quite energy efficient and simple to control, other forms of locomotion may be more appropriate for a number of reasons (e.g. traversing rough terrain, moving and interacting in human environments). Furthermore, studying biped and insect-like robots may impact biomechanics.

A major goal in this field is in developing capabilities for robots to autonomously decide how, when, and where to move. However, coordinating a large number of robot joints for even simple matters, like negotiating stairs, is difficult. Autonomous robot locomotion is a major technological obstacle for many areas of robotics, such as humanoids (like Honda's Asimo).
looks like we might have to build some arms and legs
and if we have arms and legs you know what that means...
ROBOT BOXING

EDIT: nevermind someone beat me to it
