    Default One step closer to the Terminator

    This shows incredible speed and accuracy, far beyond what we're capable of. Imagine if you could dribble a basketball this quickly!

    So what uses does this potentially have (other than the military)?

    I would reprogram it for back and forth motion, instead of up and down, put a razor in its hand,and let it strop my razor for me. 100 laps, 1/10th of a second!

    It could also swirl up some mighty fine lather.


    In a bowl! No face lathering, please!

    Not only can it jump, it can talk trash and dress like a thug too.

    How about robotic surgery? police bomb departments for defusing bombs with robots? coin operated massage parlors, with an expedited happy ending?
