Post by Sir Games-A-Lot »

... With an uncanny resemblance to R2-D2!

Second latest news entry currently.



I'm still not entirely sure what it's meant to do exactly, other than be a rolling, self powered PC (which I guess in some situations might be rather useful).

Discuss!

It looks like they provide the rolling robot with pc-compatability, Then they put the USB and other stuff for other people to make attachments (like arms, etc.)

One looks too cold to like R2-D2.

Another thing, I hope they're planning to reinstall Windows if they change a lot. And it sure will be funny to hear it have a bsod or just crash.
