Well, that's modern medicine and science for you!

Eat your heart out, ADT! Steve Norris of Norris Labs created a robot which patrols his yard, honking a horn and squirting water at intruders. I'm just glad it's a horn and water bottle, and not an AK-47.

And no, Russian kludgers, that is not a challenge offer.

So now we spare the children the joy of trying to manually transform their cars into humanoid robots? They have it so easy these days!

Japan's robotics research collective Bravo Robotics unveiled a preview of its latest prototype model for a remote-controlled sports car that transforms into a bipedal robot, which will be presented during the upcoming Maker Faire in Tokyo. The 1/12 scale model is operated by a modified PS3 controller and comes equipped with a missile launcher on each arm and a wireless camera that feeds into mobile devices like iPad.

Where exactly it came from, or why it exists, I don't really know. I do know, however, that it's a robotic elephant that can hold as many as fifty people on it.

Cheers!

And now the robots take away our crafty folk-art? Will your domination know no bounds, you soulless machines?!
