I love it! Cleverness and cuteness all in one!

Here's one chic that digs it. Perhaps their vain plan works after all. :lol

I don't know what to say.

Either I understood everything that website was talking about, or I am blown away by the coolness of it all....

Thats why I changed my schooling to study the hardware so I can build little bears...

Hey I saw the Simpsons when they went to Australia, founded by convicts all right.

If the Simpsons say it, then it MUST be true.

And if the Simpsons said to do helicopters of George Bush's lawn, would you?

What?! Those words don't add up into an english sentence. Do you mean that we should paint our helicopters in the same design as the white house lawn is decorated?

And btw, I think there should be a teddy bear computer. Surely a mini-ATX board with onboard LAN, sound and video and memory and a 2.5" hard disk would fit in a medium teddy bear. Attach a Turbo 550 electric motor and 4 or more Futaba mini-micro servos, plus a 4.8v NiCad and a micro Futaba electronic speed control plus a wireless LAN receiver, and you could direct the thing to walk places through the network. Give it a webcam and it could see.

Off the shelf components, too. Just like the things they make up at the saskatchewan widget works.

Helicopter = donuts = circle work = burnouts

Take a high powered rear drive and do the helis maaaatteee! You got a CIG diff? Siicck! You can do the helicopter! You gotta rollacage? Mate, siiicck! Do donuts mmmaaaaattteee!

Baisically a helicopter is a car doing a burnout, spinning round at high speed. If done right, one of the front wheels will be stationary the whole time.
