Robot Balloon Escapes In Britain

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the skynet-with-a-paunch dept.

tjake writes "Theres an interesting story running about a intelligent robot balloon that escaped its handlers while being transported around the Magna Science Adventure Centre. "The flyborg has a computerised brain which allows it to avoid obstacles. " It was freed by "a very strong freak gust of wind which ripped the airship out of the hands of its handlers". I'm thinkin, is this a random mistake or the start of the attack?"

    It has come to my attention recently that /. is to blame for all these GNAA posts. With the advent of the paid subscription to /. - such persons know 15 minutes in advance when a new post is to arrive! hence the GNAA gets first post and crap floods the threads!

  6. Robot escaped.. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Interesting enough there was another similar episode, where a robot escaped its pen as such. You can read about how he sneaked past the security gaurd and into the parking lot before he was discovered here.
