Sorry for letting you wait!
I want you to create a robot that can swim and/or fly by using flippers or wings.
So no Battle Mechs and weapons but some real art of engineering!
No other restrictions.
The deadline is 4/1/2010
Trophy coming soon.
Raybot is a deep seas surveillance robot designed after trench dwelling sea creatures; outfitted with an ultra-bright LED array and a compact medium resolution camera to log viewable footage for general research and to aid in scouting ideal locations for deploying manned-submersibles. Thanks to a state of the art polynylon-elastane "skin" covering Raybots skeleton drag resistance is near naught, allowing for minimal power consumption. The Raybot surfaces periodically to wireless transmit its (up to) 32GB worth of video data to oceanographers at surface level and to recharge using the photovoltaic solar cells along its spine and tail.

Concept Sketches
I know what this looks like, but I honestly came up with this just a moment ago.
Perhaps an extension or do I win AGAIN?
Ah, right. Nickel's away til Wednesday, so I'd suggest you start a new one, Questionable.
I wanted to enter this one but didn't find the time.. again.
Yay for winning by default. ;D
