The word robot comes from Czech robota, "servitude, forced labor," from rab, "slave."
Having a remote control artificial device constituits as a robot. There are very,very few robots that are completley automated.
I can't understand why people keep bashing these Japanese hobbiests ('oh they're not robots, they're just toys!'). Guess what, it's a freaking game! They are toys! They're having fun! A huge amount of work goes into those semi-automated walking machines and people just write them off as 'not -real- robots like in hollywood'.
Perhaps you're right, but having forkage and new standards pop up make a psuedo darwin effect.
This way new ideas are encouraged.
I know it looks bad on the face of it, but this is not closed source software, it is open source - and telling people that they can't/shouldn't fork software is fundamentally wrong.
Gamecube as a LAN box would be uber cool!!1!
Unfortauntely it looks like it'll take quite a while before it will be a reality, but the potential is there.
Seriously though, having a few weeks or even a month on a four year project extra isn't bad at all for project management.
Especially when you're dealing with creative always new technology.
At least HL2 isn't akin to Duke Nukem Forever.

This is a truly awesome game. Relic have done it again, just like the homeworld series we've got some awesome new gameplay. Oh yeah, firstpost.
