Wish List
Alright, I was watching the closing ceremonies for the olympics the other day, and I saw the coolest thing of all time. Those bikes that aren’t quite bikes. They’re technically unicycles, but the person is INSIDE the wheel, and the pedals rotate the wheel around him. Think that thing from Star Wars Episode III that General Grievous drove on that pit-like planet, but minus the legs, and with pedals instead of a motor.
Another awesome thing I found the other day is this video on StumbleUpon. Wrestling Robots. From Japan.

They’re so cool, especially that little orange dude. I wish I had him.
These are now added to one of those old people’s walkers and an electric skateboard (see “Thoughts on Serving,…”) to make my wish list. In no particular order:
1) Chinese Bike Thing
2) Electric Skateboared
3) Old person’s walker
4) Wrestling robot (specifically: that orange one)
From the background of the video… it appears that these ‘robots’ are remotely controlled. They are not autonomous and probably shouldn’t be called robots…
So what if they are?
