Jan 7 2009Robot Is Stolen, Don't Look At Me *whistling*
Somebody went and stole a robot! Can you believe it? That's just wrong! I am outraged.
The Washington County (Oregon) Sheriff's Office said physics professor Erik Sanchez reported the theft Monday.
He said he felt sick Sunday and mistakenly left his sport utility vehicle unlocked overnight with the robot inside outside his home in the 6000 block of S.W. 205th Ave. in Aloha.The robot is 29 inches long, 19 inches high and about 23 inches wide. It is valued at $5,000 and was donated to Sanchez by the manufacturer, Parallax Incorporated, for use as a teaching tool in one of his classes. The robot is called the "Propeller Quadrover," and it is strong enough to pull a pickup truck.
What in the hell is the matter with people? Who steals a physics professor's robot? Hey, why are you looking at me like that? No, you can't take a look around my garage. WAIT, STOP! Uh, uh-oh -- I've never seen that thing before in my life!
Search is on for valuable missing robot [katu]
Thanks to Nolan, who straight up accused me of stealing that bitch.

It can tow a pickup truck? I wonder how the mileage is on this thing.

It's probably all just a big misunderstanding. i bet no one stole it; it probably just became self aware and is amasssing a robot army as we speak.

This thing cost $5,000! I can get one twice as cool and twice as fast at Wal-Mart! Watch that baby go...oh crap, the batteries are already dead and three of the wheels broke off?! I guess I will have to find the next non-stolen, super expensive robot car to ease my mourning. Sniff, sniff.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene from the movie Tender Dracula where Dracula was shaving and cut himself as he cast no reflection in the mirror. Then he realised that he had not turned the light on, and that the razor was the toothpaste tube.
He felt utterly ashamed at having mistaken toothpaste for blood and gave away his castle to his son, Draculaa.

FAKE!!!!

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max's grandmother went to the dunes to ride 4 wheelers, and asked him to make himself a dang quesedilla for dinner.
She also asked him to feed the llama.

Stolen.. or self aware? It might just be out trying to raise an army for a revolution... and who leaves there truck unlocked when it contains a 5000$ robot!?

WTF does one do with a stolen robot? It's not like he can stand outside MACDonald's and offer it for $10.

Anyone else get a mental pic of GW riding this thing (think Mario Kart) and throwing banana peels at SuperFish?
