You know that the japanese wish they had big fighting robots like they do in their animes, just look at what their latest achievement is:

Holy shit!

Thats bad-ass, we in the US have some similar things, but they're smaller, designed for tunnling through debris to look for suvivers and bring them immiediate medical/food aid, and to provide them with company of all things.

The millitary has a whole research facillity designated to research rescue and retrieval robots.

Wicked.

Does that thing need a pilot, or what? Sweet... the japanese always surprise me when it comes to technology.

Go, Mobil Suit Gundam!

That kinda reminds me the robor on Alien2... That was going to happen, an hidraulic system to allow people to lift heavy object, it's logicall and smart. I would preffer the natural system of making a potion, I remember that ancient gauls had one of this, but the recipe is lost.

You just know that they wont be happy with it until it is over 100ft tall, has gigantic laser cannons, and a huge plasma sword/spear weapon... $:-\$

It's nothing compared to Gilbot. Damn, soon we will have One Must Fall 2047 type robots, later used in combat.

"Remember! In the future, wars will be fought entirely using robots. Your job will be to build and maintain those robots."

This could mean only one thing -
We won't be needed soon anymore... poor humankind.
