British scientists invent robotic "welly wanger"

10/28/2007 4:37 PM

Haven't got much to say about this, myself, but I've got that Silly-Sunday-Night-Clocks-Have-Changed kind of feeling. It may've been covered already, but I missed it, in which case, sorry, folks.

I love Scrapheap Challenge!

When they power this thing up, do they have to wait for those three computers to boot? hehe

Can't see from the photo which way it's rotating - maybe it is 'underarm'?

If not, shouldn't take too many of our fine 'British Scientists' to make it run the other way, & release the wellie just after the bottom of the cycle (undershot vs overshot)

Trust experiment.

If you bit the bullet, clicked the button and ended up here, you're either clever, brave, very trusting or given to rash behaviour.

Whichever it may be, please pm me to let me know you got here.
