    The only part I hope they program correctly is the built-in respect for nature. grin

    I think many humans need to learn respect for nature too

    Hans Youngmann that is a bad link for me and why is seeing it's face all of particular interest? The visual sensors are part of what is making this possible certainly, but seeing where they are mounted is kinda beside the point.
