LostInSpace Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 DOHA, Qatar (AP) -- With the reins in one hand and a whip in the other, the purple-jerseyed rider prodded a camel around the track. But this jockey wasn't the usual underfed boy. The jockey was a robot. Under the watchful eyes of his Swiss developer and Qatari owners, the robot -- dubbed Kamel -- rode a racing camel for 1.5 miles, reaching speeds of 25 miles per hour in a non-competitive trial run. By 2007, rulers of this energy-rich emirate say all camel racers will be mechanical. The age of robots is coming closer and closer. Can't wait for the day when a robot can go to work for me.

You bet. But I'd also take my best pal the robot with me and order him a cool draft of Penzoil while I order up a nice cool bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
