Yeah right not dangerous! I'm sure most people have seen some of the robots
he works with!
For those of you who don't know, Dr Noel Sharky, head of creative robotics
at Magna; is also a judge on Robot Wars (the US version is Battle Bots (I
think) and a bunch of UK bots have been on that) Now what would have
happened if the robot which escaped had been "Razor" for example (current
world robot wars champion).

Now if only I could nip forward, MIJI a medusa (?) and enter it into robot
wars, I'd show them, they called me mad, mad I tell you!

BTW and off topic, thanks for the wallpaper Shannon. Your mailer is bouncing
direct mail from me which is why this msg is here.

Hmm, IIRC, Battle Bots can be remote controlled and most of them are
completely remote controlled. I don't think we really need to worry about
any of them figuring out how to get away.

Although, I suppose he could get it into his head to make something as
dangerous as "Razor" and as smart as "Gaak". That would be A BAD
THING
(tm).
