Fighting Android Sparring Partner
GeneOff writes "Just in time for Christmas, comes FA1, the fighting android from SDT (Self Defence Technologys.) I loved my Rock-Em, Sock-Em robots I got one year from Santa. But it was tough getting opponents. Well, no more. Here is a hackable real robot that won't whimp out on you." From the article: "... a robot that can jab, hook, and cross, but still keep the violence to a minimum with adjustable difficulty levels. The FA1 can also dodge your punches with "human-like" movements and he should be hanging out on the show floor at CES -- so we'll be sure to challenge him to a round of verbal barbs from a distance."

That's great, but can it find Sarah Connor?
The theory of relativity doesn't work right in Arkansas.

When the posters fear their moderators, there is tyranny; when the moderators fears the posters, there is liberty.
This is atrocious. GeneOff gets sent back to the fourth grade, and Zonk is fired for not seeing this. Anyone who compares me to a certain political movement in Germany loses and gets sent home.
