Return of the Penguins



Clearly BSG got it wrong. The bird of robotic choice is not a pigeon, but Robotic Penguins! Made by a German firm called Festo the robotic penguins - seen above - use sonar to navigate and are extremely flexible. I can't help it. I want one.




From here.

And does anybody else recall the Belgian Penguin man called Alfred? *dun-dun-dun*

Me too! I've always found images of penguins flying wonderfully surreal - and flying robot penguins just takes it to a whole other level!

THEY HAVE GLOWING EYES. Is it wrong that I want that new BMW?
