    did anyone else see the happy feet robot and think of the Simpsons episode where Lisa tapdanced with the automated tap shoes? looks like that may be a reality now.

    ...that can filter my inbox. That's real art, man.

  4. captured by robots (of the musical variety) by dragoness · · Score: 5, Informative

    There's a band called Captured by Robots that's pretty cool. The guy built a bunch of robots (i.e. the 12 string autoharp named "GTRBOT666") for his bandmates as he "didn't get along with the human variety" very well.

    The music is eh, but the show itself is rad.

    These are some pictures of the robots themselves: http://www.chromatic-fantasy.com/2002-05-04-captur ed-by-robots/index.html

    (Yes, the robots actually play music.. )
