      I have a calender that counts down to the day robots can break dance.

      Besides that, the progress is going pretty good with the humanoid-robots. Cool.

      EDIT: LOL@the falling, that presentation must have been totally ruined.

      Each one costs a little less than $1 million to manufacture, and some units are available to be hired out for $150,000 per month. They have one that will be a permante part of Disney World in Orlando FL, starting spring 2007.
