Linux-Based Robot To Explore The Forest

crashoverride025 contributes this link to a BBC story about Treebot, "A Linux-based mobile robot equipped with a webcam and sensors swings into action to help monitor forests." Despite the Tarzan reference, it looks like this robot moves along a cable, rather than swinging from place to place.

Hooom... no one cares about the trees or free sharing of code anymore...it's all FUD and copyrights and lawsuits.... hooomm... time to rouse the forest!

We come, we come with roll of drum: ta-runda runda runda rom!
We come, we come with horn and drum: ta-runa runa runa rom!
To Redmond! Though Redmond be ringed and barred with doors of stone;
Though Redmond be strong and hard, as cold as stone and bare as bone,
We go, we go, we go to war, to hew the stone and break the door;
For bole and bough are burning now, the furnace roars - we go to war!
To land of gloom with tramp of doom, with roll of drum, we come, we come;
To Redmond with doom we come!
With doom we come, with doom we come!
