Finally ... RoboShark!

Posted by timothy on from the sans-frickin'-lasers dept.

Noryungi writes "Cousteau's grandson has built a robotic replica of a great white shark to better observe these animals in their natural environment. The robot-slash-submarine is able to mingle with the great white, and not draw their attention, thanks to a closed-circuit pneumatic propulsion system and cleverly disguised cameras. Do not miss the nice pictures next to the Wired article. Let the Dr Evil joke begin!"

    Why does this sound so familiar to me?
    I guess it's true that great minds think alike.
