    I love how DARPA always headlines these projects as for "ambulance" or "rescue" applications.

    Because obviously nobody in the military would dream of mounting an M60 on one of these.

    Heh, the guys making EATR are having to quell the fearmongering:
    In response to rumors circulating the internet on sites such as FoxNews.com, FastCompany.com and CNET News about a “flesh eating” robot project, Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (Pink Sheets:CYPW) and Robotic Technology Inc. (RTI) would like to set the record straight: This robot is strictly vegetarian.

    @pi8you

    It´s a vegetarian, but it occasionally like fish and the odd bit of white meat...

    How does it feel about eggs?

    Also, from the original article: "Dr. Bob Finkelstein, president of RTI and a cybernetics expert..."

    Anyone else go to the same place I did when they read that?
