Good luck with your ants. We're saving the planet over here...

UGA says it can turn carbon dioxide into fuel

Researchers at The University of Georgia claim to have found a way to turn carbon dioxide into fuel. Their discovery could lead to the creation of biofuels made from the carbon dioxide in the air that is responsible for trapping the sun’s rays and raising global temperatures.

I'm guessing the problem will be producing more fuel from the carbon dioxide technique than it takes to run the actual process itself?

The ant shite is interesting but is more a E.O. Wilson entomology subject, not GT dorks building robots. As for the Ruskie chick and "flipperbot", thats why y'all get joned.

Compare the Flipperbot (again) to this other Lizardbot

Notice the difference?

Reminds me of the story of the young bull contemplating running down the hill and the older bull giving advice

Hmmm. Mickey Avalon fan huh. Bobby Duval is one of the greats of course.

If NASA is going to waste hundreds of millions on that shite we ought to pull a T2 and blow the shite up now.

Wow....its really quite impressive that you'd post that over here looking for some kind of props.

Studying ants to build better subterranean robots crosses over into a level of nerddom that is almost beyond comprehension.

Can you find a GT article about a student....maybe even from the US...who just wins a spelling bee or something?

Georgia Tech stepping up efforts in robot production

Georgia Tech, Udacity Shock Higher Ed With $7,000 Degree
quote:

in Computer Science for $7,000, down 80% from the existing cost of $40,000 for the on-campus, instructor led program. Suddenly, masters programs around the country will have to compete with Georgia Tech‘s $7,000 program, and that won’t be easy or fast in coming. The traditionally taught graduate degree in computer science at Georgia Tech is a very well regarded program that is in high demand and has very positive outcomes in terms of jobs and earnings.

So, Ga Tech is a discount online college now. Trying to grab some of that U of Phoenix market share, I imagine.
