We're going to need
more robots acting like animals so we don't forget what animals look like when we kill them all off because we've overhunted and outgrown our planet.

Wow
Robots and gadgets are getting more complex as the years pass. It would be awesome to have these robots around the house. Imagine having robotic fish swim in your fish tank, or a robotic salamander setup to live in your garden or back yard pond, or the robotic salamander walking on the walls through your house, and finaly having the M_Tran interacting with things on your coffee table or desk!

Truly Amazing

- Thank You
  Hopefully one day they won't have to make videos like this, because people will have them inside their homes. That is pretty much what I was reffering to in my first comment, but thank you very much for your reply! Greatly appreciated!
