Swimming Cockroach Robot Developed

Onnimikki writes "The Ambulatory Robotics Lab at McGill University has made a six-legged swimming cockroach robot as part of Project Aqua. The robot is a waterproof version of the RHex robot, whose inspiration is the biomimetic work by Bob Full of Gecko glue fame. Other cool stuff from the ARL page includes a waddling bipedal RHex, and the world's first galloping robot."

And unless you fill the tank with salt water or, perhaps, lime jello, the density of water is pretty much the same everywhere :-)

Why particularly *lime* jello? I'm allergic to limes!
