Re: Infantry Walkers

Did I mention that one of the US universities has developed several
small
insectoid walkers? They look a lot like the ones on the movie "Runaway"?
starring Tom Selleck, some years back.
    Apparently they are capable of independent movement without the aid
of a
computer network tether. A picture of one of the developers in the
Scientific American magazine shows several of the robots climbing over
him.
    The software they wrote is called subsumption architecture and was
featured in a computing magazine some years back.

By the way, to get right back on topic, is GZG going to make any 1/300
scale
insectoid walker vehicles?
