Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

I met ASIMO!

ASIMO is Honda's humanoid robot. To say its awesome is an understatement, its incredible. They did 3 shows on campus this week and packed them all. Its truly amazing. It can walk up and down stairs, kick a soccer ball, walk a figure 8, stand on 1 foot, dance, recognize certain hand motions or voice commands and respond, there's newer versions that can run as well. www.asimo.honda.com

I want it to say my name! Say my name! hahaa... Thats cool though. It takes a lot of work to get it to balance itself and be stable while running/walking/climbing stairs and all that.
