Stalins Organ Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 How about Robo Tech's own page on it? Or, even better...a wiki page!! ..OK - so it's not actually about EATR itself.....but there's others interested in the concepts involved and they consume dead flies, so that's pretty close..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affentitten Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I think the claims on that Wiki page as to be "the first" are wrong. I vividly recally in about maybe 2001 covering a robot that fed on slugs. It was designed to trundle up and down the rows on vegetable farms. It sensed slugs with IR and used an arm to scoop them into a tank on its back, where they were converted into biomass fuel. ....and a quick google proves there is indeed nothing new under the sun! slug eating robot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
