This is great. Do you think they will have one with a built in playstation?

[lord1234]

does she complain like a woman would too?

[BigEvil]

Im sure there is an 'off' or 'mute' button.

Then it can't be "female", since females don't have one of those ;)

[PsychoBaller]

I seriously, don't even want to know....

I've watched and debated movies like Terminator and Matrix to much.... we are definately going to be taken over once they are mass produced and then exterminated for being inferior models of life.... :(

[NJPaint]

This is the new real doll replacement...

[Target Practice]

Gee, the Japanese? Man, there's a shocker. Notice that the prototype was a modeled after a 5-year-old? I guess what they say is true; neccesity really is the mother of invention.

[MoneyShot]

HAHA thats so funny

Yes the one flaw god left out of an otherwise perfect creature.

[Soopa Villain17]

silly japanians :p

[Pballwizz]

Has anyone else seen the movie Ghost in the Shell... -_-

[ojhspyro89]

Probably, ive heard of it but i cant remember exactly.


Also, does this robot make food? If it doesnt, what a waste of perfectly good silicon!

[Jakedubbleya]

they should steal that AI theyre using to send those probes to that planet in 2014. (does that exist or should i not believe everything i see on t.v.?)

in 10 years Smart Parts will replace the AA's with an All-Android team.

Can you imagine one day being able to practice against drone players? LOL

Its going to take a long time before androids can walk.. not alone run, and jump to be able to play paintball :P

I can see androids being used as receptionists or something along those lines, kinda of like a large answering machines for real life instead of over the phone.

IF smart parts ever gets that bad, I promise the free willed people of the earth that I will be the first to suicide bomb them.

also:
"She is designed to look human and although she can only sit at present, she has 31 actuators in her upper body, powered by a nearby air compressor, programmed to allow her to move like a human."

yup, female. a lot of noise for nothing of importance. :rofl:

i wonder if this robot is LP or HP. how many movements can you get off a fill? :D

depends... is it made by AKA, or AGD?

The funny/annoying thing about paintballers is that we'll find a way to relate damn near anything to paintball.

or just people in general to their obsession. i was just talking about paintball with a friend and it took him 30 seconds to turn the conversation to computers.

[matt-o]

reminds me of blade runner

[Kai]

Oh Japan, how I love thee.

Now, how they are going to hit the secret button for ramping...

[tribalman]

how? by radio waves the robot sends out. that way there is no button pressing. easier to get away with ramping.
