    DARPA Robotic VX...its no longer an urban myth!!!!

    Just got back moments ago from meeting up with the Austin Robotic crew as they traveled through Tucson on their way home from the DARPA Grande Championships. They were a great bunch of guys. Got to check out the VX and chat about the operation of it and the competition. While there EVERY person that went through the parking lot (it was a busy place) slowed, stopped, and stared at the VX's. One family came over and hung out the entire time we were there. There 10ish year old son really thought it was cool. While they were in Vegas (the comp took place near there) they met Andy (Swordy) also. So for everyone here I present you the following photos...IT LIVES!!!

    The brawn...and one huge 24 volt alt. to power the brains...
