It's Neatorama collaboration Monday!

xoxoxoBruce finds this item which is apparently been around for a while, but I hadn't seen it before, so if it's new to me maybe it's new to you.

Seth Weiner is responsible for this thing - the camera watches where the fish goes, a computer determines where the fish is moving and moves the vehicle in that direction.

The YouTube video of it only makes it a little less mind-boggling; the vehicle doesn't really move that fast. And the fish has a pretty simple nervous system and probably wouldn't figure out, exactly, that it was somehow hooked up to a robot that could actually move it around.

Still, freaky!

Be sure to visit Neatorama for more neato items.

This does not bode well for Feminists
 
Now that the fish has a bicycle, does this mean that women DO need a man?

Especially if they put it in a featureless white room...

Because some people have too much time on their hands.

That sucker needs more power. Bigger motor.... 300 horse power.... maybe some flashing lights and a siren. The kind of siren that makes people get out of the way, not the kind that lures you to crash your bowl on the rocks. :headshake

Wait a minute... this was a Futurama Episode. S1E8 - A Big Piece of Garbage. A prof. makes a 'reverse' SCUBA suit.

I want one !!!!!!!

It should be cool watching one of my turtles moving around the room in one of those, chasing my girlfriends buttugly fatass cat.

(and talk about simple nervous system, they are always trying to eat the hand that feeds them (and my girlfriends buttugly fatass cat))

(wich is offcourse one of the reasons i keep the little buggers around)

xoxoxoBruce 03-20-2007 09:06 PM

Hello Chinditz, welcome to the Cellar. :D
Uh...just how big are these attack turtles?
