Perhaps it's just me but this made me laugh in a few ways...reading the page title I expected some robocop Ed-209 styley thing. Nope!
Anyone else surprised when the camera pans back to the interviewer 10 seconds in?

Why spend millions developing an easy to use controller when you can buy one for £20 down the shops?

...but no it's not the controller it's the voice, the demo he does - starting with 'oops', and the end of 'and it records'.
Perahps if the thing was loaded with C4 or something...reactive camo maybe. This makes the 'cat cover for the end of a gun that shoots round corners' look 23rd centuary!

the high-pitched ginger one from Ipswich? That team won the contest IIRC.
Hats off to anyone who's even just a little bit different who survives an upbringing in Ipswich. I barely did.

...Chaos2 I think was his robot. Hypnodisc was my favourite though. Ahh, bring back Robot Wars...and Ms. Forrester in her leather trossocks...thinking about it Phillipa was replaced with another lovely aswell.
Yeah, bring back Robot Wars.

Her and Felicity Kendal when she was in the good life were my childhood crushes, but before I really know what a childhood crush was
