    All those robots scare the hell out of me. I'm just going to watch ASIMO and let him warm my heart.

    Dancing Japanese robot school girls leads to dancing robot strippers, which leads to sexbots. Robot technology might be in its infancy today, but I like the way this is going...

    These dancing robots look like the were designed by engineers who probably don't know how to properly dance themselves. Did these teams have dance consultants on their team?

    Any robot in a schoolgirl outfit was designed for something other than dancing, methinks.

    Though I suspect it won with the help of MJ sentimentality. The thriller one was the best, but the attempt at moonwalking was pretty funny.

    ...the day robots really are able to moonwalk we need to be concerned...

    @hater001: Before I can acknowledge your scathing critique of my work, I need to know what a "coment" is. Your spelling and grammar are otherwise perfection, so I can only assume that it's a thing I haven't heard of and not simply a sloppy mis-spelling of "comment."

    By the sound of it, the robot is actually running Windows XP.

    When designing autonomous robots, one should probably refrain from choosing any colors that fall anywhere on the colorwheel near "flesh tone". Black to tan to pinkish-white is out. I'd suggest blue as the target color, but that's a good way to put out somebody's eye and waste ammo on a sunny day.

    It looks as though the robot, after calculating the poor odds of it leading a more meaningful life in retirement from being a stationary sentry gunner, decided to give up.
