University Scientist Invents Robot That Runs On Meat

South Florida - Stuart Wilkinson of the University of South Florida in Tampa has invented a microbial fuel cell which breaks down food with bacteria and converts it into electrical energy. This fuel cell is strong enough to power a 12-wheeled train-like robot. The ideal fuel in terms of energy gain, is meat. Wilkinson said. Changing food into electricity isn´t unique. What I´ve done is to make it small enough to fit in a robot. Future applications for gastrobots may include lawnmowers which eat grass clippings.

Sounds like great material for a movie. Say something about a crazed lawnmower that goes berzerk and mows everybody's lawn than turns on the residents with toopay! Yea so I can't spell, shut up.

I agree with zxcvbnm14. It's bad for robots to eat animals? Hey guess what? People are made from meat as well. What's to prevent a hungry robot from eating a human?

It's bad enough that poeple are hooked on meat. I know I am. But making robots that eat meat is just sick. I think an animal is worth more then a robo-snack. Some of those scientists seem to work hard to do stupid things. I can't wait till they give the same robot AI and the ability to self-replicate... If they could build it now, they would. Then we could do the whole Matrix thing :-P
Anyways, stop experimenting with animals damnit. Use criminals.....and politicians.
