Happy halloween everyone (.mpg)
- swombat 18y agoVery disappointing. I watched the whole thing, all the while expecting that the robot arm would attack the children and leave bleeding and broken bodies everywhere. What kind of halloween is it without a dose of horror?
- tdavis 18y agoI expect similar things to happen when watching anything. I don't know why I let myself be disappointed so often :(
- rksprst 18y agoI didn't watch long enough to see that part.
- icey 18y agoWell, thanks for taking the time to add absolutely nothing to the conversation.
- Gonsalu 18y agoI agree, the video wasn't remotely interesting...
- robfitz 18y agoit's a man sized robot that can pick up candy and deal w/ kids. that's entirely interesting.
- jyothi 18y agoyeah I was expecting at least the hands would brush against a kid and the children go screaming. Or may be when one of the kids is picking a chocolate on the ground the robot puts its hand down too! Disappointed.
- radley 18y agoyay!
- DanielBMarkham 18y agoHere's something scary to show the kids -- giant spider eating a bird http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=&xml=/earth/2008/10/22/easpider122.xml http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&...
- ph0rque 18y agoMy ~2 year old daughter was completely fascinated by that, when I showed her... of course, she thinks all big spiders are tarantulas; she calls the daddy long-legs spiders that.
- DanielBMarkham 18y agoMy 8-year-old daughter was also fascinated, while my 12-year-old son was horrified. I'm not afraid of spiders, but that looks like the biggest spider I've ever seen. I'm a little disturbed by the size.
- SwellJoe 18y agoI laughed and laughed. Beautiful. If that batch of kids doesn't produce a proper engineer (or two or three), then it will be the schools that have failed, because I think Monty has provided ample inspiration. Of course, they did seem at least as interested in the candy as in the giant robot delivering it, if not moreso. Maybe kids today are just completely jaded by technical miracles, since new ones seem to arrive every day. When I was a kid, we didn't have any of these Internets, or cell phones that can play movies or find out almost any fact in seconds, or robotic vacuum cleaners, or jet packs, or personal oxygen sleep chambers, like these kids today. We had to call people using phones that plugged into the wall, and if we wanted to send email our PC or C64 or Amiga had to dial up a FIDO or Aminet hub and do a batch send/receive. And we had to walk to school in the snow. Uphill. Both ways.
- sown 18y agoMy favorite part is how the kids are put in some kind of caged away from the robot for their own protection (or the robot's)...
- jws 18y agoA frightening future. In each “pick” or “put” operation the robot was served by an eager human minion while most of the humans' needs were unmet.
- geuis 18y agoReally cool
