Chainsaw-wielding Robotic Submarine

Posted by michael on from the hockey-mask-optional dept.

merryprankster writes "New Scientist is running a story about Sawfish, a chainsaw-wielding robotic submarine used as an underwater lumberjack. There are some 200 million trees thought to be standing on the floor of hydropower reservoirs worldwide. Sawfish attaches airbags to, and cuts around 9 trees an hour - the trees then float to the surface for collection. Cue the jokes about robotic high heels, suspenders and a bra."

  1. Yay... Python.... never gets old by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Oh I'm and NERD and it ain't ok, I sleep all night and I post all day to Slashdot with the same freaking jokes as the last 50 people before me because Python only has a couple jokes good enough that people remember them in this case I'm talking about the lumberjack thing (which comes up whenever someone mentions a saw). Sorry it doesn't rhyme.
