You can see movies of our Cornell "box-like" robots from the last 3 years at http://robocup.mae.cornell.edu While they are boxes, our robots use omni directional drive, which means we can move in any direction at any time. Makes for much more effecient movement, and allows us to dribble and pass, soemthing no other team in the f180 size does. As for the humaniods, Honda has a bunch of photos of the Aismo and associated robots they have built walking up subway stairs and kicking soccer balls, but most of those videos are quite staged.
I'm a little confused. My understanding was that the x86 processors were CISC, while the MIPS proecessors were RISC. However, IA64 was a grand departure from x86, both because the instructions were 64bit, because they were almost all predicated making branch prediction hell a thing of the past, and most importantly, unlike the x86 CISC design the IA64 would be a RISC chip. What would a 64bit MIPS chip offer that the IA64 does not? Why do we need another 64bit RISC processor?
I am also Cornell student, busy working late in Rhodes 453 on my graphics assignment. I also strangely take pride in this, but you gotta love that quote in the article: "Some feminists even say artificial wombs mean men could eliminate women from the planet and still perpetuate our species." LOL!
I disagree with you 100%. I happen to be a Cornell student, in the College of Arts and Sciences. If you did your research, you'd know that only certain colleges in Cornell are public (aka Industrial and Labor Relations, Agriculture, etc), while the majority of the colleges, INCLUDING THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, are PRIVATE schools. The now ECE deparment (electrical engineering which is now called electrical and computer engineering) has always been located in the Engineering school, which is private.
Second, I've met in the past with some of Cornell's lawyers over discussions regarding Dragon Day. It was there I learned that Cornell spends most of it's time defending itself against stupid little lawsuits, and only gets into one intensionally if either a.) it has a LOT to lose if it doesn't or b.) it has a REALLY good case. Cornell doesn't like to lose, so going for this means they must have a very good case, or their lawers certainly believe they do.

Let's hope you're right. I'll be in our RoboCup lab later this afternoon. :)
Our robots will be very unique this year, our fastest omni design yet. Just wait... :)
