Future Sims?

A friend just sent me this link - U-Tsu-Shi-O-Mi... I think this would fit in well with some form of Sims....

Round 10... fight!

A friend just sent this to me - dang.... ROBO-ONE 10: Championship Match - Ivre vs. King Kizer

Imagine Keepon with EBA or something...

The more info about it can be found at the devs' sites: Hideki Kozima at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology in Japan and Marek P Michalowski from the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.

For all you Gundam and/or plastic model fans

A video of how some Gundams are made.... imagine a MEMS gundam....
