As a supplement to yesterday’s post, some may wonder what will power these machines so that their monkey pilots can bring an end to civilization.
A steam-powered military robot developed by a Maryland firm could fuel its internal fire by foraging for biomass ranging from grass to dead bodies.
The news has garnered lots of attention on cable news shows and online.
The Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR)can find, ingest and extract energy from biomass, says developer Robotic Technology Inc.
The more they destroy, the more they can move. Wait until they discover that they can also intravenously feed the monkey with the sugars and proteins from this biomass.
What with Joe’s coworkers trying to create SkyNet, I am begining to worry about our time being quickened.
“EATR”
Gee, I guess that’s better than “ZOMBIE.”
WTF are these people thinking?
hey, 1012 is less than 1000 days away.
It uses a steam cycle; 10 will get you 20 they mean “cellulose” when they say “biomass” because “biomass” sounds cooler.
Yup, just looked, it uses plant matter to burn. Not meat.
