Those Japanese, building their robots! This time it's a robotic CARP, whose job it will be to take pictures of seabeds with its nose-mounted camera.

It's comin' right for us!

I would need at least a gallon of tarter sauce:yum:

:lol:

Is this form actually functional, or is it just something for goofy fun while doing science?

Finally the low maintenance fish I've been waiting for! Now I can build the pond I have always wanted

Why is everything that comes out of Japan so creepy?

It's not creepy, it's Super Happy Mega-Fun!

just more pandering to the seamonkey fetishists.:headshake

I think instead of Carp they mean Coy

You mean Koi?

Oh, boi...!

yeah koi coy you got the jist

It's claimed to observe sea-bed resources (sushi?) and bottom feeders.
I should think it would scare the crap out of the bottom feeders. :mg:

it will blend in well with the surrounding balloons and clowns that live at the bottom of the sea.

No live link to the camera?
